On James 4
James 4 presents five different words for desire as the author leads us to the climax and resolution of his instruction and encouragement as we stand firm, resist the devil, and humbly submit our will to the Lord's will.
-
On James 2
James 2 confronts favoritism, works, and dead faith. Favoritism desires our own honor by associating with those we deem honorable and excluding those we deem below us. It's idolatry of self and status; faith in image, not in God. I love James 2:12. Speak and act as one who will be judged by the…

-
On Galatians 3
Paul doubles down on his amazement in the Galatians willingness to follow a distorted gospel and corrects their view and expectation of the Law in light of the gospel of grace in Jesus Christ through faith.

Galatians 1 begins with the gospel, introduces a correction to a false gospel, and presents his case from authority on the gospel.

Scripture and the Holy Spirit
Scripture, inspired by God, is essential for teaching, rebuking, correcting, and training in righteousness. Likewise, the Holy Spirit convicts us of sin, righteousness and judgment, guiding us towards Jesus and the cross. He counsels our steps and comforts our faith.

Ryan and Max discuss faith and perseverance in the face of evil, trauma, and the unknown.

-
Integrity Unravels with Sin
Sin produces damaging fruit that affects ourselves, others, and our relationship with God. It unravels our integrity in rebellion from God's will.

-

-
Addressing Spiritual Abuse
Spiritual abuse perpetrated by those who claim the name of Christ is real and needs to be addressed. It can be an abuse of power and authority or subtle words and accusations. It diminishes and divides us, and can lead to or originate from other types of abuse, as well. The Christian response is...

How to Engage Scripture
Engaging deeply with scripture involves more than simply reading the Bible - although we should absolutely simply read the Bible. It involves meditation, prayer, and application.
-
Overcoming Barriers to Spiritual Growth
We all have barriers to spiritual growth. Often our barriers fall into one of four major categories: a shallow faith, inverted priorities, valuing information over intimacy, and unconfessed sin. Regardless of the barrier, God can break through.
