    James 4: What is Trust?

    Sermon Scripture: James 4 James chapter 4 feels like a set of three disconnected warnings to the early followers of the way of Jesus, but if we take a step back, we can see a common thread running through each. In verses 1-10 James warns against envy and material greed, in verses 11-12 he warns against judging others, and in verses 13-17 he concludes by warning against boastful self-reliance. Each of these conditions are a direct byproduct from a lack of trust in God, and James warns that this lack of trust ruins our ability to live in the freedom and fullness of life that Jesus bought us through victory over sin and death.

    James: The Power of the Tongue

    Sermon Scripture: James 3 James argues that any pretense of being a follower of Christ that doesn't result in a serious working-over of our speech habits is falling short. How we use language — what we say and how we say it — is a central and vital part of what it means to be truly human. The real work of taming the tongue is not just about habit stacking or self control, it is heart work. Jesus, and now James, make it clear that what comes out of the mouth is a sign of what is really deep in the heart.  So, we once again return to the familiar invitation. Ask and it will be given to you, but what should we be asking for? WISDOM that comes from God. This is the source of re-ordering our heart’s desires, then this powerful little tongue may be used for the good it was intended.

    James: Our Common Lives

    Sermon Scripture: James 2 In James chapter two we are reminded; that God doesn’t play favorites with who he welcomes into his family, therefore we shouldn’t either, we will be tempted to take our salvation into our own hands in an effort to buy it or manipulate it, when it remains a work of God all along, and that there are no shortcuts to our salvation. It is a matter of belief and action — not one without the other, but a strong balance of both. James is debunking the myth that power and status work as currency in God’s kingdom — it doesn’t. Mercy and grace are God’s currency, and when we receive them and freely share them with others in tangible, specific, or even sacrificial acts of compassion and generosity, we are living as we were created to live.

    James: God Our Source

    Sermon Scripture: James 1:17-27 This week we begin to study the book of James. James does not read like one of Paul's letters where he addresses specific problems in one local church, rather this book is a summary of James's sage wisdom for any and every follower of Christ. James's goal isn't to teach new theological information, all we need is found in the teaching of Christ, rather he wants to get in your business and challenge how you live those truths out.

    Ephesians: Equipped to Stand

    Sermon Scripture: Ephesians 6:10-18 We all live at the mercy of certain forces out of our control, some of which leave us frustrated, damaged, or even completely defeated. Christians need to know that: (1) we are part of this struggle and must be able to recognize the forces against us; (2) we are called to stand firm against these forces; and (3) God has equipped us with the ability and tools to successfully resist those forces.

    Ephesians: Emotional Intelligence

    Sermon Scripture: Ephesians 4:25-5:2 This week, as we continue studying the book of Ephesians, we see what appears to be a list of dos and don’ts to guide and shape our behavior, but really what scripture is reminding us is that the whole range of human emotion and experience is God given, but it is so important to use our strengths wisely and well so that they do not become weakness or sin.

    Ephesians: The Road, The Wall, The River

    Sermon Scripture: Ephesians 2 We are all following a map, but is it the right one? Then, if we discover we are headed in the wrong direction we need help in changing course.  By allowing God to reconstruct our journey, we might finally discover what we have been missing all along — a new way of living and being human that satisfies all that is unsettled in us. This new journey in Christ is what God desired for us to experience all along.

    Ephesians: According to Plan

    Sermon Scripture: Ephesians 1:3-14 As we begin a new four week series walking through the major themes of the book of Ephesians, we see God as the master architect of a beautiful plan bringing life to all humanity and all creation.  God has a plan, this plan comes with promises, and engaging in them inspires our praise.
