This is the first sermon in a series on the first half of James 1. Patrick unpacks verses 1-4 and calls for us to figure out why we endure trials and how we can consider it joy.

After being gone for 3.5 years, Mike Smith makes his return to Woodbury, and brings with him a friend. In this conclusion to our series, Mike brings in a story from Mark and ties it into the story of the Good Samaritan.

"The one who showed mercy." What is mercy? Sometimes our words don't do justice, and if we are going to be people who go and do likewise, we need to better grasp what mercy is.

1/15/17

The story of the Good Samaritan leaves us with the command to go and do likewise. If we are going to do that, we need to know precisely what the Good Samaritan did and figure out what that would look like for us.

"Who is my neighbor?" Have you ever wondered if that may have been the wrong question? Jesus goes on to answer a similar, but not the same, question. Check out this sermon to find out what question Jesus was answering.

2 Corinthians 3:18 - And all of us, with unveiled faces, seeing the glory of the Lord as though reflected in a mirror, are being transformed into the same image from one degree of glory to another; for this comes from the Lord, the Spirit.

Sometimes there is more to generosity than how much we give. Sometimes there is more to greed than just hoarding something to ourselves. If we are not able to see greed, how can we disengage from it?

Sometimes our moral dilemmas are bettwen right and wrong but often they're between good and better. We're drawn away from Christ by "good" distractions. If our "good" keeps us from God's best - then it's not good.
