This week we focus on love as a Fruit of the Spirit. God emphasizes the centrality of love throughout the Old and New Testament Documents. Key examples include Deuteronomy 6:4-5 (some say the summary statement of the Pentateuch) and in Jesus’ teaching Matthew 22: 36-40. The overriding concept is that the Spirit produces love in us so that we can appreciate the gifts of others. The threat against o...

This week we focus in on the Fruit of the Spirit, what the Holy Spirit produces in those who follow Jesus. Paul calls us to take a new and next step with the Spirit. To help us understand what it means to walk in the Spirit he contrasts the deeds of the flesh with the fruit (deeds) of the Spirit. We learn that we are not called to a “works righteousness” but to freedom in Christ.

Jesus is a freedom fighter. He gave his life to set us free, to set all of creation free. The victory is complete, but the struggle continues in our day and in our lives. In order to join Jesus in the liberation of creation, we need to take our own freedom seriously. Our neighbors need to see a freedom in us that they've never seen anywhere else—that is where they will truly see Jesus. The Holy Sp...

This week we ask the question, “How does a career unfold?” James teaches us the roles of humility and God’s will. As we explore our motivations, beliefs, and desires regarding our careers/work, consider the words of Arthur Simon, president of Bread for the World, “…the problem is not that we’ve tried faith and found it wanting, but that we’ve tried mammon and found it addictive, and as a result fi...

This week we look at how we relate with others. James tells us to tame our tongues. He then tells us it cannot be done. Our problem comes from having a double-minded tongue. The solution, wisdom comes from God. Sound familiar? Back in April we began this series noting our double-minded character (James 1:8) and how God generously gives wisdom to all who ask (James 1:5).

This week we look at “faith and works.” James lays out his argument for why “faith without works is dead.” He calls us to search the scriptures to understand how God has consistently called people to have faith and live out their lives trusting in him.
