Wealth that Deceives

James 5:1-6

Jason Fan - Care & Outreach Pastor

What do you do with a passage that starts, "Now listen, you rich people..."? The problem with this is that we don't often consider ourselves 'rich', do we? Rich seems to be a moving target. There's always someone with less money than we have and …

From Conflict to Peace

James 4:6-10

Carla Olsen Draper - Spiritual Formation Pastor

A Community of Grace

James 2:1-13

Kyle Harnett - Lead Pastor

In a world quick to judge and slow to embrace, James 2:1–13 calls us to form a radically different kind of community—a community of grace. We all have preferences, but the Gospel invites us to trade favouritism for family and hypocrisy for humili…

Spiritual Blindness

James 1:19-27

Kyle Harnett - Lead Pastor

Spiritual blindness can sneak in quietly—through unchecked anger, passive faith or careless words. In this deeply practical passage, James invites us to see clearly by receiving God’s Word with humility and living it out with integrity. True reli…

Good & Bad

James 1:9-18

Andrew Berg - Next Gen Pastor

Some of the best gifts I have ever received I bought for myself. That’s just how my wife and I roll with presents. We know what we want so we’ll buy it and then give the other the credit. That works for my marriage. Doesn’t for Jesus. Every good …
