Jesus is coming again. The question James asks is: How should we live while we wait? In James 5:7–12, we’re given a surprisingly practical picture of a life shaped by the hope of Christ’s return.

In this message, we’re reminded that people will fall, but they don’t have to fall…

Love One Another

Jesus gave His disciples a simple but demanding command: “Love one another. As I have loved you, so you must love one another.” In John 13:34–35, Jesus defines love by pointing to Himself.
