Sermons on James

God Talk

We’ll be spending time today with a portion of the Letter of James and contemplating the age old notion of faith versus works on this Labor Day Weekend.

Questions of Faith

For the next two weeks, pastors and leaders will respond to questions submitted by congregation members. Pastor Bob and Pastor Christopher take the lead today. What questions do you have about faith and/or your church?

Projecting Grace

This Sunday we begin a new (short) series called Generation to Generation. During this first week, we recall our history of serving others in varying ways and how this lays the foundation for future service to our community and beyond.

Family Words: Hurtful or Life-Giving?

This Sunday we continue our series on The Power of Words. This week, we focus on the words used within our family systems. Our families are often the places where we first begin to learn how to live and how to interact with others. Are we taught in loving and life-giving ways? Or are we taught through shame, mistreatment, and controlling behaviors? Scriptures: Colossians 3:8-9, 12-13, 15b; James 1:19 Click here for additional resources on this sermon. Copyright info
