Selfishness and jealousy lead to conflict wherever human beings gather as we are often wise in our own eyes. But true wisdom from God leads to meekness and peace.

Christians are formed spiritually to bear witness to the Kingdom of God in all of life. One way Christians do that is to foster authentic relationships of all kinds. What is it to live authentically in the way we love one another?

James shows us the significance of our tongues - they are capable of great good and great harm. We praise God with our tongues and then curse fellow human beings with those same tongues! What hope is there? In Christ there is salvation for our...

Saving faith will result in the godly obedience of good works.

Life will inevitably have both good and hard seasons - in this sermon we will look at how God uses both to spiritually form us.

We tend to judge a book by its cover when it comes to welcoming people or not. The gospel brings us into a relationship with the heavenly Father who shows no partiality.

The word of God doesn't just give us a new life in Christ, it continues to give life to the believer. It grows us. It blesses us. And it tests us.

One of the greatest tests in the Christian life is how we handle poverty and riches. James gives wisdom to have a proper perspective whether we have plenty, are in want, or somewhere in between.

During the Advent season, we remember that God sent the Savior into the world. But what exactly did the Savior come to do? Isaiah tells us that the Messiah’s mission may be bigger than we realize. Understanding the Messiah’s mission shapes the way we...

The words of Christ help us to see that he doesn’t just save us from our sin, but he saves us to be a new people – children who are peacemakers like their Heavenly Father.

Humanity finds itself in a challenging predicament. On the one hand, we long for meaningful relationships within community, but on the other hand, we find relationships hard and so we often avoid deep relationships within community. Thankfully, God...

Why is it that the word obedience calls to mind many distasteful responses like drudgery, servitude, hardship, etc.? And when we do desire to obey, why is it so hard? The gospel gives us a new understanding of obedience that causes us to desire...

Like the Apostle Peter, as disciples of Jesus, we are a mixed bag of true confession and being confidently wrong at times. Thankfully, Jesus in His wisdom and compassion, uses imperfect disciples for His glory.
