2024-11-03 ‘Kingdom Generosity’

2024-06-09 ‘The Perfect Plea’

-
2024-02-11 ‘Perseverance to the End’
A great promise we can hold to as genuine believers in Christ is that true believers do not perish in the end, but persevere (John 10:27-29). However, we also know that perseverance is not passive, but active. Perseverance is not easy, but difficult. As we await the Lord’s return, James paints a...

-
2024-01-07 ‘The Importance of Scripture’

2023-12-31 ‘Responding to the Gospel of Peace’

-
2023-11-05 ‘Pure Speech’
The tongue is a useful, yet dangerous instrument. Good and evil can come from the tongue. What you say reveals what is in your heart, and for the Christian, it should not be that good and evil come from the same mouth. Let us repent and look to the one who can purify our speech. James 3:1-12
