This week, we look into the life of James, the Half brother of Jesus.  He was not heard from until AFTER the resurrection,  then he became a leader along with Peter of the Jerusalem church at the time of Pentecost, the persecution of the Saints, and the subsequent scattering of the saints abroad.  James 1:1-7 Speaker: Aaron Patton

Why does God allow suffering? Why do we experience pain? This week we will be looking at 2 Corinthians 12 and the life of Paul to answer why God allowed suffering in Paul's life. Speaker: Aaron Patton

Being right doesn’t give us the right to be self righteous. Text: Luke 15 Speaker: Aaron Patton
