    Abraham faced, and passed, probably the greatest test of faith given to a man (except for Jesus). Today we'll focus on Genesis 22 where God commanded Abraham to sacrifice his son Isaac. We'll see that It takes faith to put God first.

    IT TAKES FAITH (part seven) Hebrews 11:17-19 Today we'll be looking at probably the greatest test of faith given to a man followed by the greatest display of trust and obedience (next to Jesus', of course).

    James and Paul seem to be saying something different about faith. But their message is the same. True faith results in a changed life.

    James’ teaching on Faith seem to contradict what Paul teaches about Faith. I want to answer this question as we our study of James brings us to James’ familiar statement in chapter 2. “Faith without works is dead.” Is James contradicting what Paul writes in Romans, ...read more

I would like to read it from Eugene Peterson’s paraphrase (The Message) this morning and then we will look at 3 sections individually from the NLT version. James 2:14-26The Message ...read more

    There is a war raging between our self-indulgent nature and God. That war sets us at enmity with our brother, shuts the window of heaven and makes us Friends of the world .... and enemies of God. What can we do to avoid this and be friends of God?
