Faith Or Works? Series

Contributed by Nickolas Kooi on Sep 12, 2018

In James 2, we see one of the most challenging passages of Scripture. However, when seen in context, James' point becomes clear and understood.

The English language can be a very challenging language to learn. Part of that is because many ordinary words that we use in everyday conversation can have many different meanings. Take the word “run,” for example, which according to dictionary.com, has over 179 different meanings for the word. ...read more

James 2 - Let's Do It! Series

Contributed by Michael Mccartney on Sep 16, 2018

Contributed by James Wallace on Oct 22, 2018

Some people miss the ultimate experience, in fact, any experience of God whatsoever--even those who claim to be born-again Christians. Why? It comes down to one little word that is pivotal, according to Jesus, in our experience of God.

Have you ever experienced God? Sometimes it's an unsettling question, isn't it? As born again Christians, we often bristle when people accuse us of being religious. At least I do. When they say something like that, I'm quick to explain to them that I don't think of myself so much as having a ...read more
