These Days - James | Rock Of My Salvation - 10

These Days - James | Rock Of My Salvation | Pastor Chris Heller

 

James 5:7-11

How patient are you?  Is it difficult for you to wait?  What are you currently waiting to see happen that has discouraged your faith?

 

This Sunday, we will explore three characteristics of the patience James wishes to coach all believes to have. 

 

Should be a great study for all of us who push the elevator button three or four times!

These Days - James | Secure Rock - 9

These Days | Secure Rock | Pastor Jon Adams

 

James 5

So far, we have seen James take on the role of a coach, encouraging believers to live out their faith in many different ways. This week, James turns his attention from the church to address a different group of people – the corrupt rich. In a scathing rebuke, he calls out these unbelieving rich, and he leverages their example to instruct us on how to handle our own money, wealth, and possessions. 

 

As we head into Stewardship Month at Renew, James is going to challenge our approach to material things and inspire us to live out our faith more fully.

James 4:13-17

Today we will be hearing testimonies of how the Lord has worked in their lives and brought them to salvation, as well as witness those who are being baptized. I'll also be sharing a few moments from the Word as we continue our study in the book of James.

 

These Days - James | Ever-Present Dynamics - 7

These Days - James |  Ever-Present Dynamics - 7 | Pastor Chris Heller

 

James 3:13-18 & 4:1-12

This week in our fall sermon series James will ask, “What causes quarrels and fights among you?” He knows the answer, and it may surprise you!

 

Relationship tension does not only wreck our peace, it wrecks our future. Could it be why many people bemoan just wishing to be by themselves? But is isolation the answer? So often, once we’re isolated from others, we feel the most vulnerable and in distress.

 

This duplicity of saying one thing and doing another comes up often in the book of James as being “double minded.” Join us this week as we unpack that concept.

 

The psalmist said, “God is our refuge and our strength, an ever-present help in distress.”

These Days - James | Rock & Redeemer - 6

These Days - James |  Rock & Redeemer - 6 | Pastor Chris Heller

 

James 3:1-12

One of my favorite verses of scripture is Psalm 62:6-7, “Let the words of my mouth and the meditation of my heart be acceptable in your sight O Lord, my rock and my redeemer.”

 

This week, James will instruct the diaspora on how wonderful, but also how dangerous, the effects of the mouth can be. Have you heard the phrase, “loose lips sink ships?”

 

Join us this Sunday as we get a challenge on how we can use the words of our mouths to be light.

These Days - James | Stronghold Dynamics - 5

These Days - James |  Stronghold Dynamics - 5 | Pastor Chris Heller

 

James 2:14-26

Psalms 37:39 says, “The Lord rescues the godly, He is their fortress in times of trouble.”

 

This week, James will challenge us to put our faith in action, specifically in the area of helping those who are in times of distress.

These Days - James | How Precious - 4

These Days - James |  How Precious - 4 | Pastor Chris Heller

 

James 2:1-13

We all have people who are very precious to us, but would you go as far as to say you have favorites?

 

Would you say you have a best friend? How does that make your other friends feel? Do you give preferential treatment to some over others?

 

This week, James will ask his readers to consider the impact partiality has on the church, and we will learn how to navigate these types of dynamics in our lives. 

These Days - James | Rock of Refuge - 3

These Days - James |  Rock of Refuge | Pastor Chris Heller

 

James 1:19-27

How are your listening skills? Would you describe yourself as "quick to hear and slow to speak"?

 

In These Days, we are hearing a lot of talk and opinions about what we should be doing, but are we listening enough to what God says in Scripture we should be doing?  

 

Join us this Sunday as we continue our James series.

These Days - James | Mighty Rock - 2

These Days - James | Mighty Rock - 2 | Pastor Chris Heller

This Sunday, we will continue our series in James!

Last week, we learned the importance of standing in our Strong Tower.

This Sunday, we will learn the importance of building our lives on the Mighty Rock! 

It's our hope that this message will be an encouragement to you!
