    Quick, Slow, Slow Series

    Contributed by Joel Gilbert on Aug 12, 2024
     | 1,286 views

    As James continues to provide wisdom to exiles, he begins to discuss our interactions with other people - especially our reactions.

    Today, as we return to our study in the book of James, we are confronted with some helpful and convicting words that relate to how we interact with other people and even respond to sticky situations. Even as he presents this information - James does so with a specific outcome in mind: James ...read more

    How Bad Is Favoritism Really? Series

    Contributed by Joel Gilbert on Aug 12, 2024
     | 1,036 views

    On the topic of pure religion and our interactions with other people, James addresses the topic of favoritism.

    Mean Girls and Bullies Are a common theme in the movies and entertainment in part because… It is a part of human nature - to be accepted and to be close to people who can help us get ahead. In school that might look like working your way into the crowd of cool kids - even if that means ...read more

    Visible Faith

    Contributed by Joel Gilbert on Aug 19, 2024
     | 1,519 views

    People tend to think about faith as a private matter. James would argue otherwise for a visible faith.

    As we’ve been studying the book of James - we have observed how he calls us to have a “spiritual wholeness” - a faith that runs throughout all that we are. A faith that is revealed in our character, exhibited in conflicts, and heard in our conversations. He calls us to… persevere amidst trials, ...read more

    Our Troublesome Tongues

    Contributed by Joel Gilbert on Aug 26, 2024
     | 1,433 views

    As James challenges his readers to have a true religion, he comes to a part of our faith-life that is nearly impossible to control - our tongues.

    Before we dive into the main content of the message today, I want to point out something rather obvious - there are no notes in your bulletins. There is a sense in which this sermon is set up fairly similarly to others - a couple of main points with smaller points, but there is also a sense in ...read more

    A Tale Of Two Kinds Of Wisdom Series

    Contributed by Joel Gilbert on Sep 3, 2024
     | 3,120 views

    James focuses on the leaders of the church as he calls into question the source of wisdom - essentially noting that wisdom from God is drastically different than wisdom of the world.

    There are decisions that all of us make on a daily basis. Some of those are minor and relatively inconsequential, others are major and potentially life altering. Some impact only us (or so we think), where others reap ramifications on our families, church, workplaces, school, community, and more. ...read more

    This Is War Series

    Contributed by Joel Gilbert on Sep 9, 2024
     | 1,085 views

    As we continue to pursue the "true religion" that James encourages us to embody, we come face to face with a war that we face. Sure, there are battles with culture, but this war is within.

    One of my favorite bands is the group “Switchfoot.” While I like their sound (it is unique and often very easily identifiable), what I like most is their lyrics. Switchfoot is a band that is made up of Christians. Their lyrics and songs have made their way onto both Christian and secular charts ...read more

    Hubris Or Humility Series

    Contributed by Joel Gilbert on Sep 16, 2024
     | 814 views

    There are so many factors that come into play when we make plans, but how often does the Sovereign will of God affect our plan making? In this passage, James challenges us to avoid hubris and embrace humility by submitting to God’s sovereignty in making plans.

    Mistakes along the way? In February of 1995, nearly 30 years ago, the Holy Spirit spoke to me in a clear way that has impacted the course of my life - and yet it has not been without mistakes and missteps. He urged me to go to the church the Danielle grew up at and help out with the youth ...read more

    Partiality, Patience, Presence Series

     | 963 views

    Jesus could return at any time, therefore we should be just in our dealings and patiently endure injustice.

    On the night before Jesus was crucified, He told his disciples John 14:3 ESV And if I go and prepare a place for you, I will come again and will take you to myself, that where I am you may be also. Jesus went to the cross, leaving them hope beyond the cross, hinting at the resurrection and eternal ...read more

    A Covenant Community Communicates Clearly Series

    Contributed by Joel Gilbert on Sep 30, 2024
     | 656 views

    As James closes his letter to exiles, he concludes with instructions on three different topics - communication (oaths), prayer, and care. This sermon looks at the first of those in the context of a covenant community.

    In the run up to the 1988 Presidential Election, Vice President George H.W. Bush famously said “Read my lips: no new taxes.” He was running on a platform of consistency. He sought to take the policies and success of the Reagan years into a new term. He, in essence, swore an oath, made a promise ...read more

    Jesus, The Son Of God Series

    Contributed by Joel Gilbert on Feb 18, 2025
     | 565 views

    The genealogy of Jesus reveals several things to us - but primarily his heritage as the Son of God.

    In recent years, ancestry and genealogy has been a growing trend. One of the largest and most popular ancestry companies was sold 4 years ago for $4.7b. There is something in us that wants to understand more about where we are from and from whom we descend. Unfortunately, for many of us, the ...read more

     | 840 views

    Jesus' temptation in the wilderness gives us some insights that we should keep in mind as we face temptation.

    Luke 4:1–13 ESV And Jesus, full of the Holy Spirit, returned from the Jordan and was led by the Spirit in the wilderness for forty days, being tempted by the devil. And he ate nothing during those days. And when they were ended, he was hungry. The devil said to him, “If you are the Son of God, ...read more

    Who Is Jesus To You? Series

    Contributed by Joel Gilbert on Feb 24, 2025
     | 876 views

    We all face judgments from other people. Jesus faced that too. As He began his earthly ministry, Jesus experienced two completely different responses from two different towns. How will you respond?

    People make judgments about us all of the time. It’s not so much that they are judgmental, but that they get to meet us or get to know us based on certain associations. I know, by virtue of the fact that I’m a pastor, when I introduce myself to people, they make an immediate judgment. If they ...read more

    The Cost Of Following Jesus Series

    Contributed by Joel Gilbert on Mar 3, 2025
     | 828 views

    While all of us come to faith from a variety of different circumstances, the calling of Simon helps us to see that there are some commonalities among all conversions

    When you and I come to faith in Jesus Christ, we do so from a variety of different circumstances. Some are younger (I was 5). Some are older - I know a woman who was in her late 80s when she came to faith. Some have lived simple lives, others have lived rather rambunctiously. Some have come ...read more

    Strange Things Series

    Contributed by Joel Gilbert on Mar 17, 2025
     | 448 views

    As Jesus ministered in the region of Galilee, He did some things that some thought to be strange. As a result they glorified God!

    A few years ago, there was a series release on streaming services called “Stranger Things.” The series took place in a small town where strange events were happening - supernatural encounters, weird creatures, fissures into things that seemed like a mirror image of our world. It was truly filled ...read more

    The Radical Invitation Of Jesus, From Exclusion To Celebration Series

    Contributed by Joel Gilbert on Mar 17, 2025
     | 476 views

    In the calling of Levi, Jesus reshapes what discipleship looks like and who qualifies to be a disciple. Would we invite the "Levi's" of our day to follow Him?

    Introduction: Is Jesus “woke”? In other words, is He someone who is sensitive to or aware of the injustices experienced by the marginalized? If Jesus were walking on earth today, gathering disciples, would He do so along DEI (Diversity, Equity, Inclusion) ethical standards? Would he try to choose ...read more
