James

Luke 3:1-6
In the fifteenth year of the reign of Emperor Tiberius, when Pontius Pilate
was governor of Judea, and Herod was ruler of Galilee, and his brother
Philip ruler of the region of Ituraea and Trachonitis, and Lysanias ruler of
Abilene,  2  during the high-priesthood of Annas and Caiaphas, the word of
God came to John son of Zechariah in the wilderness.  3  He went into all the
region around the Jordan, proclaiming a baptism of repentance for the
forgiveness of sins,  4  as it is written in the book of the words of the prophet
Isaiah, ‘The voice of one crying out in the wilderness:
“Prepare the way of the Lord,
    make his paths straight.
5  Every valley shall be filled,
    and every mountain and hill shall be made low,
and the crooked shall be made straight,
    and the rough ways made smooth;
6  and all flesh shall see the salvation of God.”’

Have you ever felt the tension between what you know you should do and what you actually do?
In James 3:13-4:8a, we are challenged to examine the gap between wisdom and our own selfish desires. Why is it so hard to resist that inner pull towards conflict and envy? This Sunday, Dr. Kevin Tully will explore this struggle, and how the wisdom from above offers a way to real peace and justice—if we are willing to let go of our excuses and surrender to God.

Join us as we reflect on how to make space for God's presence in our daily decisions in Dr. Kevin Tully's sermon, "I'd Like To, But..."

Have you ever thought about the power you hold in your words?
Imagine having a secret superpower—one that can either heal or hurt, build up or tear down. In this week's sermon, we’ll explore James 3:2-12 and the profound impact of our tongues. How often do our words bring life and encouragement, and how often do they cause harm and division?

Join us as we discover how to harness this incredible power for good in Dr. Kevin Tully's sermon, "Your Secret Superpower."

Do we truly understand the impact of what we say?
In James 3:2-12, we’re reminded that our tongue, though small, can set the course of our lives, for better or worse. Like a tiny spark that can ignite a vast forest, our words hold the power to inspire or wound. Can we tame this restless tongue and choose to speak life into every situation?

Join us as discover how our speech shapes not only our world but also our very souls in Rev. Val Stewart's sermon "The Power of Words."
