Heartland Church Of Fort Wayne

What does it mean to live an honorable life?

Who are we inviting to our table?

What we do matters, but James reminds us that what we say also has immense importance.

James was not writing to people to tell them how to be saved, he was writing to believers about how to live as those who are saved.

James 2:1 "...how can you claim to have faith in our glorious Lord Jesus Christ if you favor some people over others?"

As believers we need to be intentional about what we say (or type) and make sure to listen on purpose.

When temptations come, what is our response? How can we tell if it's actually a test from God?

As the early church faced persecution, James encouraged them to approach God with humility and faith.

As we begin a deep dive into the book of James, we are encouraged to consider what we are doing on earth and how we are doing it.

God placed us into community for a reason and a purpose.

God's plan from the start was to set things right. Even the devil couldn't see the strategy before Jesus did what he came to do.

God's strategies are for redemption and restoration.

What do we really think about loving others?What do you think about loving yourself? Pastor Carolyn challenges us to ponder our thoughts and work through the things that keep us from Biblical love.

The command to "love others as you love yourself" is scattered throughout scripture, and is important to God. Learning how to love others and love ourselves is an ongoing journey.

In the Book of Acts we see a great example of how to live the Christian life in Barnabas. He was a mentor to Paul and he was known as an encourager.

Moses had some of the same excuses as we often do as to why we shouldn't do what God asks. And God gave an answer to every one.And, like Moses, our obedience can lead others to freedom.

Amar shares the amazing things God is doing in his life.
