(7-28-19) Plotting Our Course - Will Donato

James 4:1-12

In this passage, James challenges us to choose to avoid the proud ways of the world. If we submit ourselves to God, resist the devil, and humble ourselves before the Lord, He will lift us up.

(7-21-19) Living the Good Life- Will Donato

James 3:13-18

We look at the characteristics of earthly wisdom and its results, and see how they contrast with the characteristics and results of heavenly wisdom that descends from above. God's wisdom brings peace and righteousness.

(7-14-19) The Master Key - Will Donato

James 3:1-12

As we continue in James, we see that harnessing our tongue is a key to holy living. The tongue has enormous power. Will we allow it to bring grief or life?

(7/7/19) - No Favorites with God- Pastor Ryan

James 2:1-8

God makes no distinction between rich or poor, as we are all in need of Christ's redemption. In fact, we are not to count our riches by our bank accounts or material possessions, but consider ourselves rich because of knowing Christ. "For you know the grace of our Lord Jesus Christ, that though he was rich, yet for your sake he became poor, so that you through his poverty might become rich." - 2 Corinthians 8:9.

(6-30-19) - Be A Doer of the Word- Pastor Ryan Diffenderfer

James 1:22-27. 

James challenges Christians to not just hear the Word of God, but do make it active and be Doers of the Word. We are able to do this by looking into the "perfect law" Jesus and keeping our eyes fixed on Him. James gives some practical advice to walk out our faith, such as watching our tongues, serving those around us, and keeping ourselves from being polluted by the world around us.

(6-23-19) Request Granted.......Request Denied - Jim DiBiaso

Jim DiBiaso - James 1:5-8

As we continue the study of the book of James, we see that God is the source of wisdom, and that He is a good giver who wants us to succeed. However, that wisdom is conditional. We must examine our heart, to be sure we're not double-minded.

(6-16-19) - When the Going Gets Tough.... - Jim DiBiaso

 James 1:1-4

We begin a summer series on "Walking Out Your Faith" based on the book of James. After getting the background surrounding the book, we gain an understanding of why we have trials, and how we can become mature through those times.

(6-9-19)- Relationships, pt 4. -Pastor Will Donato

Song of Solomon 3:1-5 ; 4:1-4

We complete the series on relationships by looking at the wedding day when two become one. It compares to the promise of the future, when Jesus, the Bridegroom, is united with the Church, His Bride. We see that we must allow the Holy Spirit to heal our personal relationships now, before we are united with Jesus on that day.

(6-2-19)- Relationships, pt. 3 - Pastor Will Donato

Song of Solomon 2:10 - 3:6

For any healthy relationship, there should be excitement, it should produce life, and there should be a commitment to solving problems.

(5/26/19)- Relationships, pt2 - Pastor Will Donato

 Song of Solomon 1:7-17; 2:1-7

We continue our study of Song of Solomon, as we explore how the Church, the Bride of Christ, can grow in our relationship with the Bridegroom.
