James continue to calls things like he sees it. On Sunday, we are going to be looking at just two verses. In a wisdom literature kind of move, he gives us these last thoughts before transitioning to talk about partiality. While the text is short, he packs in a lot of ideas about being religious, the use of the tongue, caring for those who have had loss, and being holy. As we read them, we want to consider their importance for us today. We want to examine our beliefs and whether or not they are in alignment with our actions. When asked about your faith, how do you describe it? We also want to think about who we are as a church body living this out. It is a gift to be pastored by a strong leader from the early church.
What a joy to have the children and youth with us in these three weeks before Sunday school begins again. This week, there will be a short teaching from the sermon scripture for the kids during the 9:30am worship service. You won't want to miss that!
We come into the sanctuary of the Lord on the first day of the week to worship Him. We lay down our burdens and seek the living God, who is actively working in our lives and in the world. Let us not miss the opportunity to come before Him. Who in our lives could we be inviting to know Jesus? These words of his brother are life-giving for so many.
