    SHORE | SEVERE JOY | S01E01 | JAMES 1:1-2 | RANDALL CREASEY

    James, the brother of Jesus, opens his letter not with a title of honor, but with a title of surrender: "Bondservant." In this opening episode of our journey through the Book of James, we explore what it means to bind ourselves to God out of love rather than obligation. We dig into the impossible command to "count it all joy" when we face trials of various kinds—not by pretending the pain isn't real, but by realizing the Master is in the boat with us. Using the cinematic imagery of the disciples trapped in a storm (Mark 4) and the dark valley of Psalm 23, we discover that true joy isn't found in the absence of the storm, but in the presence of the Shepherd. Whether you are in a season of calm or navigating the "valley of the shadow," this message invites you to see your trials as a pathway to a clearer vision of who God is.

    SHORE | PEACE RESTORED | PROLOGUE | JOHN 21 | RANDALL CREASEY

    In this Prologue to the series, we uncover the heart behind the name "Shore." Based on John 21:1-14, we explore the powerful contrast between the boat—representing our human striving, chaos, and "empty nets"—and the Shore, the place of solid ground where Jesus waits with peace, provision, and a charcoal fire. After the chaos of the crucifixion, Peter retreated to the familiar safety of his fishing boat, only to find emptiness. But Jesus calls him (and us) out of the turbulence and onto the solid ground to dine with Him. This episode sets the foundation for our study: learning to leave the chaos of our own efforts to find peace restored in His presence. Scripture References: John 21:1-14, 2 Chronicles 16:9, 1 Corinthians 15:1-4, Psalm 9:1 Chapters:  (00:00) Intro (00:31) Prologue | Reading John 21:1-14 (02:15) Opening Prayer (02:59) Verses 1-3: "I Am Going Fishing" (07:00) Verse 4: Jesus Stood on the Shore (11:29) Verses 5-6: Cast the Net on the Right Side (17:37) Verse 7-8: "It Is the Lord!" (22:10) Verse 9: The Charcoal Fire (26:00) Verses 10-11: "Bring Some of the Fish" (30:31) Verses 12-14: "Come and Have Breakfast" (35:50) Closing Prayer (36:57) Credits GO DEEPER Reflection questions for this episode are available to download here: https://go.shorebiblestudy.com/prologue-reflection  You can also take the study further by discussing the questions with a friend, a small group, or starting a chat with someone who’s watching along.
