    Speak life, hold the fire

    James teaches that words—especially from teachers and leaders—carry great responsibility because they can guide people toward life or cause serious harm. Though the tongue is small, it has powerful influence, revealing the condition of the heart and shaping relationships for good or evil. While no one can fully tame the tongue, believers must rely on God and the Holy Spirit to guard their speech. Followers of Christ are called to speak truth in love, build others up, and consistently reflect God’s character with their words. The Gathering Church is located in Midland, Texas.

    Is it faith or deeds?

    This passage explains James’ teaching that genuine faith is always accompanied by action, not as a means of earning salvation but as evidence of a transformed heart. While Paul addresses legalism by emphasizing salvation through faith alone, James confronts empty belief that produces no fruit. Using examples such as helping the needy, Abraham offering Isaac, and Rahab protecting the spies, the message shows that true faith naturally expresses itself through obedience and love. Ultimately, the point is that faith alone saves, but saving faith is never alone—it is proven by deeds. The Gathering Church is located in Midland, Texas.

    Confronting the mess of favoritism

    In this message from James 2:1–13, Pastor Frank talks about the sin of favoritism and how it goes against the heart of the gospel. He shares scripture along with his own experiences to show how partiality, whether it’s based on wealth, appearance, or status, can leave deep wounds in families and in the church. Ps. Frank reminds us that God calls His people to love without discrimination and to honor the poor who are rich in faith. He encourages us to offer the same mercy God has shown us. The message ends with a heartfelt call to repentance, forgiveness, and setting healthy boundaries while still choosing mercy. The Gathering Church is located in Midland, Texas.

    Pure Religion

    This sermon confronts the disconnect between outward religious performance and genuine faith transformation. Drawing from James 1:26-27, Ps. Frank challenges us to examine whether our faith is merely external—marked by church attendance, prayer, and religious activities—or if it has truly transformed our hearts, evidenced by controlled speech and compassionate action toward the vulnerable. This message calls us to move beyond self-deception, where religious activity masks an unchanged heart, and instead embrace the "pure and undefiled religion" that cares for the hurting and remains unstained by worldly values.

    What do you see?

    What if the greatest deception in our spiritual lives isn't about what we believe, but about what we fail to do? This powerful message from James 1:22-25 confronts us with an uncomfortable truth: hearing God's word without acting on it creates a false sense of righteousness. We can attend every service, read our Bibles daily, and accumulate biblical knowledge, yet still be deceiving ourselves if we're not actually living out what we learn. The mirror analogy hits home—just as we wouldn't look in a mirror, see spinach in our teeth or messy hair, and walk away satisfied, we shouldn't examine ourselves through God's word and ignore what needs changing. The sermon challenges us to move beyond religious intellectualism into active faith that transforms not just our own lives, but the lives of those around us. True blessing isn't found in bigger bank accounts or nicer possessions, but in the deep joy and fulfillment that comes from being doers who share the gospel and disciple others. The question we must each answer is simple yet profound: when we look into the mirror of God's word, what do we see, and more importantly, what will we do about it?

    The Implanted Word

    Ps. Frank teaches from James 1:19–21 on what it means to truly receive God’s Word. Drawing from St. Augustine’s powerful encounter with Scripture, this message explores how the Word of God can transform lives when our hearts are prepared like good soil, free from distraction, pride, and sin, allowing the implanted Word to take root and bring lasting change.

    When Temptation Knocks

    In life, we’ll always face battles against temptation. Too often, we mistakenly attribute those temptations to God. This message reminds the church that temptation and sin do not come from our holy Father—they stem from our own sinful desires. We’re called to recognize the true source of temptation, understand the cost of giving in, and take action to resist. Just as Jesus overcame, we too can stand firm and walk in victory.
