The book of James is a survival guide for following Jesus in a world that often pushes the other way. James, the half-brother of Jesus, once a skeptic, became a bold leader after meeting the risen Christ. His letter is raw, practical, and direct— calling us out of comfort and into a faith that actually works. Over 8 weeks, we’ll journey through the book of James to learn how to face trials, obey God’s Word, speak with wisdom, live with humility, and pray with power. It’s a call into the wild— faith that works in a world that doesn’t.
Faith in Action : James 2:14–26 (Oct. 5, 2025, 3:57 p.m. )
Is faith just something you believe—or something you live? This Sunday, Pastor Dan King walks us through James 2:14–26 with a powerful reminder: real faith shows up in real life. Join us as we explore how faith shapes our priorities—our resources, our commitments, our values, and even our sense of security.
Faith Doesn't Play Favorites : James 2:1-3 (Sept. 28, 2025, 3:55 p.m. )
In James 2:1–13, we’re reminded that real faith doesn’t play favorites. Showing partiality isn’t just impolite—it’s sin, because it violates God’s command to “love your neighbor as yourself.” Jesus reached across every barrier—rich and poor, young and old, insider and outcast—and calls His church to do the same. In this message, Pastor Jon unpacks how mercy triumphs over judgment and how keeping our eyes on Jesus reshapes the way we value people around us. Faith that works is faith that sees every person as made in God’s image and worthy of love, dignity, and mercy.
Ride the Bike : James 1:19-27 (Sept. 21, 2025, 5:18 p.m. )
Today, Pastor Jon will share how living faith is a moving faith. Like riding a bike, following Jesus gives us balance, rhythm, and forward motion—helping us stand firm in our identity as God’s children, be grounded in His Word, and live it out daily in obedience.
Answering the Call : James 1:1–18 (Sept. 7, 2025, 3:26 p.m. )
God doesn’t waste your trials—He uses them to prepare you for the wild journey of faith. James introduces himself as a servant of Jesus—the brother who once doubted but now leads with bold faith. He calls scattered believers to see trials not as setbacks but as opportunities for growth, producing perseverance and maturity. Faith isn’t tame; it thrives in adversity.
