James: Pt 2 (1:12-21)
How do we process the trials and testing of life? Does God have a hand in testing us, what about temptation? If God does test us, why does he do it, what is he trying to accomplish? These are some of the questions that James might have been receiving from his own friends and community while they experienced persecution and injustice. So how does James respond and what can we learn from him today?

An Intentional Life: Pt 5
One of the essentials to an intentional life is knowing the voice of the Holy Spirit and being willing to obey and depend on his gifting and power. We are very familiar with the voices of our own desire and the desires of culture around us, but are we familiar with the voice of the Holy Spirit? Are we following his intentionality for our lives or the intentionality of the world, our flesh or the Devil.
