September 5
James 1:19-27

Listening and Doing: Our responsibility as true followers of Christ involves listening to what he is teaching and then doing what he tells us. It's pretty straightforward -take care of those who can't take care of themselves. But wait, there's a catch!

September 12
James 2:1-13 (special guest)

A Warning against Prejudice
Andrew Jenkins, Executive Director of The Village, discusses the issues surrounding favoritism, but what is favoritism and how are we affected by this? Real world examples of how each of us shows favoritism in our lives.

James 2:14-26
"What good is it, my brothers, if a man claims to have faith but has no deeds?...You see that a person is justified by what he does and not by faith alone." Hey, hold on here Buster, I thought we are saved by grace alone and not by works so that we can't brag about it? Does Scripture contradict itself?

September 26
James 3:1-18 (last service in current space)

Teachers of the Word have a great responsibility to speak well and truthfully, but are we only speaking of speaking? What kind of damage can you do with a small piece of flesh? "The wisdom that comes from heaven is first of all pure; then peaceloving, considerate, full of mercy and good fruit, impartial and sincere."
