Contributed by Garrett Tyson on May 19, 2022

James encourages us to be all-in for God, responding "in faith" to testings, and steadfastly live in faithfulness toward God and people.

Who do you want to be? (James 1:1-12) Today, we begin a new series on the letter of James. The sort of weird thing about teaching on James, from my perspective, is that I've done this before. Maybe 10 years ago, I preached through James in two little churches in Kulm and Medina. I'm ...read more

The Source Of Our Temptation Series

Contributed by Daniel Teberian on Mar 12, 2023

What causes us to be tempted? Where do we get our desire to do that which the Lord has commanded us not to do? James explains the way we are tempted, where our temptation comes from, and where our temptation leads us.

But each person is tempted when he is lured and enticed by his own desire. Then desire when it has conceived gives birth to sin, and sin when it is fully grown brings ...read more
