James: Pt 4 (2:1-13)
James is pastoring his fellow Jewish believers who have been driven all over the Roman Empire because of persecution and one of the pastoral issues that James confronts in chapter 2 is the preferential treatment of some over others, specifically those who have wealth and influence and cultural cache.
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?

Heaven #1
Heaven Part 1
Our world is immersed in a crisis of hope, anxiety and fear. We’re at a standstill of inactivity. We’ve lost vision and purpose and we’re being crushed under the weight of our own desire to self-determine our lives, our identity and our future. But what if there was a way to recover our hope, passion, vision and calling? What if there was a way to regain the upper hand? There is, and it isn’t in the place you might think, it’s in recapturing what the bible really teaches about heaven, hell and our eternity life. Are you ready for new hope today?
Stewarding The Season
Stewarding The Season
We might be aware that there are seasons in life, but are we aware of what season we’re in or how to steward the season so that we’re prepared to move on to the next season? Identifying what season you’re in and knowing what your assignments are for that season are essential to our ability to fulfill the purpose and vision God has for our life.
Identity Matters
Identity Matters
Your identity matters. Who you believe you are, and who you choose to follow. Jesus came to set you free so that you could live out you’re full God-given identity and purpose, and he came to show you as a man dad it is entirely possible to see the kingdom of heaven come down.
