James 3:13-18

James starts off this section with a rhetorical question: 'Who is wise among you?'. Which sets the tone for the rest of this chapter. Wisdom is shown to be found in two very contrasting places. One is from the world (Pseudo-Wisdom) While the other is true wisdom found in God alone. Weaving Proverbs into the mix,  Kimbal gives us an overview on the characteristics of a wisdom filled life, challenges us on where we each find our wisdom, and leaves us with a question we should be asking ourselves daily.

James 3:1-12

James 3:1-12 holds no real surprises for us. The “tongue” or specifically the words we say have impact, for good or evil. We know the damage that people’s words have done in our lives and we know where things we have said have hurt others. Kimbal shares how our words are a barometer of our spiritual life and while “no man can tame the tongue”, we can surrender to the Holy Spirit’s transforming work in our heart and  consequently, our words will reflect that change. 

James 2:14-26

Belief in God- even the demons have it. What sets saving faith apart is good “deeds” that are the fruit of our faith. Listen as Brian Cool from Compassion Canada draws out the real life faith in action of Abraham and Rahab, a faith THAT WORKS!

James 2:1-13

Why is James so strong in his condemnation of  “favoritism” in the church? How are we as a church doing at welcoming all people? Russ Toews explores these questions as we continue in our James series.

James 1:19-27

There is nothing wrong with “hearing” the word of God. It is, in fact, the first step. The trouble comes when we neglect to DO anything about what we've heard. This, as James says is self deception.

James 1:12-18

As we continue our series in the book of James, Kimbal lays out the truth from this text that says:In this life…there are trials to endure there a temptations to resistAnd there is a trustworthy God to depend on

James 1:1-12

Jam-packed with practical applications for living out our faith, we begin a 10 week series in the book of James. Kimbal introduces us to James, the half brother of Jesus and the themes in the book, calling us to put some “deed in our creed”.
