God's Wisdom in Community - Jacob Ingalls
By: NA On: 06/22/2025
James has a lot to say about about the community of faith living wisely in chapter 3:13-18. The wisdom James speaks about is one that elevates the community of faith rather than jockeys for personal advancement.

The Control of Anger
By: Mike Hauser On: 05/11/2025
In times of trouble our first response is usually not the best one. We want to "get back to normal" or make the difficulty go away. Anger is often our response when things get tense. But, James gives us another way to live, another way to process conflict and it's begins with dealing with ourselves.

Holding On
By: Mike Hauser On: 04/06/2025
Last week James referred to the "double-minded" as people who grab on to anything when they're desperate and afraid. Today, we take a slight detour in our communion focus to discover the only one secure enough to hold on to for life.
