James has been taking us on a guided tour of what it looks like to live as a “Doer of the Word” (1:22). In Chapter 2, he showed us how doing the Word shapes how we see each other (without partiality) and serve each other (see a need, meet a need). Now in chapter 3, James introduces a lengthy section about how being a doer of the word impacts how we speak to each other. This week, James gives us the final two reasons why we must seek to tame our tongues. As he says in this text, “the tongue is a fire, the very world of iniquity.” This week, we begin to not only understand the truth of that statement, but we will also begin considering how to put that fire out!

Now in chapter 3, James introduces a lengthy section about how being a doer of the word impacts how we speak to each other. This Sunday, we continue our study on “Taming the Tongue.” James offers different motivations for why this effort is so critically important in the Christian life. Join us as he continues to help us learn what it means to speak in line with Christ’s own speech!

Now in chapter 3, James introduces a lengthy section about how being a doer of the word impacts how we speak to each other. Join us this Sunday as we start a new section in the book of James. Being a Doer of the Word in 2026 means speaking words that are aligned with God’s Word. James 3 will teach us how to tame our tongues and speak as Jesus spoke.

Join us this Christmas Sunday as we examine the story of Christmas from the shepherds’ point of view. Though we’ve all heard the Christmas story countless times, we’ve rarely stopped to consider why the angels first appeared to proclaim the good news of Christ’s coming to a group of shepherds. Answering this question brings into focus a profound part of the Christmas story that you’ve probably never considered. Join us this Sunday as we dive into an untold part of the Christmas story!

In James’s book, Chapter 1 taught us about the importance of faith and the change that it produces in us. Having been given faith in Christ, now we are responsible to use that faith to work out our salvation as we become “Doers of the Word.” In the process, the works that we now do (being in the faith) prove the reality of faith’s power in our lives. Join us this week as we conclude our study of James 2! This week, we’ll see how true faith powerfully drives us to live out the reality of Christ within us. A faith that goes to work proves that faith really does work!

In James 1, James helped us see how true faith drives us to become doers of the Word. In chapter 2:1-13, he taught us how faith must shape how we see one another. Now, in 2:14-26, he’s challenging us to serve one another and thereby prove the reality of our faith through our works. Join us this Sunday as we continue our study of James 2. In this next section, James helps us see the difference between a kind of faith that fails and one that works. This week, James will show us just how dangerous it can be to say we have faith without also demonstrating its presence in our lives. This Sunday, we’ll see what happens when faith doesn’t go to work.

Having already explained how believers are to see one another (2:1-13), now James turns to talk about how we ought to serve one another (2:14-26). He does this by reminding us of the point he already made in 1:22-25: that faith always produces fruit. Join us this Sunday as we look at what happens when true faith goes to work! The result of having faith in Christ is a vibrant kind of care for one another within the family of Christ. This week, we begin looking at how we must serve one another.

In the book of James, we will be exploring the relationship between faith and works. Before we can fully appreciate James’ message, it’s essential to understand that faith always precedes any good works. Good works never produce faith (because faith isn’t something we produce); instead, faith always produces works. For this, we can be thankful! Join us for this Thanksgiving Sunday as we reflect on the gifts that God has given to us in salvation. Because we are saved by grace, through faith, for good works, we have many reasons to be thankful! This Sunday, we’ll talk about these gifts from God as we prepare our hearts for the holiday.
