James encourages us to listen but not to stop at listening. Combining listening and acting is necessary for arriving where God wants us.

How often do we “listen” to other people without really listening? How often do we jump immediately to actions and words that don’t reflect the heart of God? James challenges us to do something different.

How do we deal with darkness and uncertainty in life? Can we count on God’s blessing? James helps us to think about this.

We chase after riches, but what happens when those riches — and our lives — come to an end?

James calls us to look for the real wisdom of God rather than the “wisdom” we normally chase after.

How do we understand the difficulties we face in life? James says we can find joy in them — how can that be?

James challenges where we find hope as we begin this new series in the first chapter of the Epistle from James.

The next set of Proverbs challenge us to think about how our words — even seemingly insignificant ones — can have a huge impact on those around us.

Do we really have to show love to those whom we consider “enemies”? God calls us to show His love to everyone , so let’s think about what that means.

As people struggle through things, it can be hard to understand how to help them. We may not always get it right, but how can we be more Christ-like in helping them through struggles?

Pastor Tim cools off in the pool as we think about cooling off our uncontrolled wills and being more focused on the things God values.

Are our words promising things we have no intent to do that leave people to die or are they much needed refreshment in a hurting world?

How does showing care in how we relay information speak to our state before God? It is part of the broader picture of who we are in Jesus.

Do you like receiving critique and correction? Me, neither. But God offers us loving correction that draws us closer to the beauty He intends and, when we do it right, the correction we give and receive each other can do the same.

Even when we have the truth, we need to figure out how to convey it in love. Conveying truth in love involves caring about how the person we’re speaking to will hear it because of how we say it and when we say it.

When we’re ready to accuse others of missing the mark of righteousness, are we prepared to explore the differences between ourselves and the righteous person too?

We constantly seek to strive for the better position in society, but what if we stopped trying to see ourselves as important and instead saw ourselves humbly?

Seeking wise counsel that will lead us closer to the Lord is at the heart of helping good leaders and being good leaders.

As we continue to explore what good leadership looks like, the next verse in Proverbs 25 helps clue us in: God values virtuous curiosity that neither seeks to needlessly cause trouble nor values stability over truth.

Seeking to understand God’s wisdom is impossible in full, but He still invites us to experience Him and His truth.

We struggle with being thankful when things are still not right, but David helps us to see the opportunity to thank our God right now.

If God is a God of justice (and He is), then how do we live in a time of injustice? David wrestles with this in the middle of Psalm 7.

David doesn’t ask God to only judge others, but himself, too. How can he do that? Does he believe himself to be above sin? Or is it that his hope isn’t in himself?
