Faith and Favortism
By: Scott Hall On: 05/25/2025
James confronts the community for favoring those with wealth and influence over those who do not. He makes the point that favoritism has no place within the people of God.

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.
