How should we respond to life’s trials? James’ letter delivers the answer: whatever comes, choose to live by faith. James digs into our struggles with temptations, unsound speech, conflicts, hardships and injustice. Trials are not meant to keep us weak and worried, but to make us strong. God-given faith includes power to transform our thoughts, priorities, decisions and relationships.

Faith is more than just the ability to believe, it is what empowers us to do what God has called us to do. Faith produces good works, it allows us to receive wisdom from God, and it gives us the boldness to do things that most would be afraid to do. You are invited to join us as we look at some of the ways that faith fuels us to do what God has called us to do.

Men often talk a good game, but its our daily walk that shows our true character. In this Bible Study, you'll see how James challenges the church to put their faith to action, but also be encouraged to become a man of complete faith and integrity.

Each day provides practical teachings and guided prayers to help you embody Christ's love, even for those you disagree with politically. You'll learn to approach disagreements humbly, walk in gratitude for God’s provision, and engage in kingdom-minded action.

Deeper into Scripture is a methodology of scripture reading that instructs, encourages and equips people to read God’s Word daily and deeply. To accomplish this we have created a unique four-fold method of bible reading that directs the individual to read a short passage of scripture four times. Each reading is done with a different question, instruction or objective to be considered. This repetitive reading and instruction takes us deeply into the Word of God and draws us closer to Him.
