    Jesus loved everyone impartially and intentionally, breaking cultural barriers and societal norms. We are called to follow His example and love others in the same way.

Let's pray: God, help us to love like You do. Show us how to look past our differences and love everyone, no matter what. Teach us to love like ...read more

It's not cool, right? Well, guess what? God thinks so too. Let's dive into James 2:1-17. James, who was ...read more

    Good morning, church family! Today, we're diving into a pertinent issue that, as Christians, we must navigate with wisdom and grace.

    We might say "The clothes make the man," but God is more interested in the heart, and so should we be.

    We treat the faith like an "all you can eat buffet." We take what we want, and leave the rest. But can we really ignore whole servings of the Word of God?

    Celebrating In The Losers Cirlce Series

    Contributed by Tim George on Mar 17, 2001
    based on 99 ratings
     | 4,911 views

    James tells us the story of a rich man and a poor man who came to church one day. One appeared to be a winner – the other a loser. How should a group of losers who have been made winners by Christ treat such people?

    No body likes a loser. Have you ever seen a losers circle at the racetrack? When is the last time you saw the runner-up on a box of Wheaties? People generally think little of losers. That makes it all the more hurtful to some when someone like Ted Turner is quoted as saying, “Christianity is for ...read more
