Perhaps one of the biggest contributors to division in society is none other than partiality. In the letter of James, this type of behavior is actually described as evil, and we're to avoid behaving in such a way at all costs as believers. In today's message, Pastor Danny will teach you what it means to show partiality and how to better recognize these tendencies in your own walk. In his study, you'll learn that as followers of Christ, we're to treat all with dignity and respect, whether rich or poor.

Maintaining a healthy perspective regarding trials as believers isn't always the easiest thing to do. Even if we were to successfully view each trial or struggle as a blessing, we also need to be mindful that with each one comes temptation. As Pastor Danny will teach you in his message today, each and every one of us are susceptible to taking the easy way out. In his study, you'll learn that the blessings behind every trial only come when we persevere and lean on Christ for the strength to overcome.

There are several passages of Scripture that can easily lead us to believe that the Bible condemns having any type of wealth. However, upon proper interpretation we find that God's main concern for us is that our wealth doesn't distract us from The Kingdom. As Pastor Danny will teach you in his message today, we as believers would do well to be careful when it comes to wealth. In his study, you'll learn how money can both distract and hinder us from bearing fruit for God's Kingdom.

James writes in his letter that we as believers are to 'count it as joy when we meet trials of various kinds.' From a normal, sane, logical perspective, joy is probably the last response that any of us would give when met with a trial, large or small. However, as Pastor Danny will teach you in his message today, we as believers no longer look at things from the world's perspective. In his study, you'll learn that one of the most powerful ways we grow as believers is by trial, struggle, and hardship.

Many of us would probably have a hard time imagining what it would be like to have family ties with The Messiah of the world. Even if we were to witness a sibling perform a miracle, it's highly unlikely that we would come to the conclusion that they were God. However, as Pastor Danny will teach you in his message today, this is the exact predicament that James found himself in. In his study, you'll learn how this once hard hearted individual eventually became one of the strongest leaders in the early Church.
