The Book of James
Trials and Temptation
July 6, 2025
| James 1:1-12
| Hadley Baker
In this message, we’ll explore how God uses trials and temptations not to break us but to build us. James encourages believers to “consider it pure joy” when facing various challenges—not because the struggles are easy, but because they produce perseverance, maturity, and deeper faith.
Listening and Doing
July 13, 2025
| James 1:19-27
| Hadley Baker
Faith isn’t just something we talk about — it’s something we live out. In this passage, James calls believers to go beyond merely listening to God’s Word and take the next step: doing what it says. This message will explore the connection between a transformed heart and obedient action. Let’s discover what it means to be doers of the Word, not just hearers.
Prejudice and Favoritism
July 20, 2025
| James 2:1-13
| Hadley Baker
In a world quick to judge and slow to love, God calls us to something higher. In this powerful message from James 2:1–13, we’ll confront the subtle ways prejudice and favoritism can creep into our lives and challenge ourselves to see people through the eyes of Christ. This is more than a call to fairness—it's an invitation to reflect God’s heart for all people. Come ready to be inspired, convicted, and moved toward a love that breaks down barriers and builds up others.
