Scripture teaches us, even exhorts us, to pray with unshakable belief, to open our ears and hear the promises of God, and invite them to dwell deep in our hearts. God wants us to pray these “Prayers of Faith” to anchor our trust in His assurances, knowing that God is always true to His Word.

May we earnestly desire this for ourselves and the people we are knit together with in God’s family.

In John 15, Jesus paints a picture of the Vine (Jesus) and the branches (us), and the privilege and fruit that is produced as the “branches” stay connected to the “Vine”.

And we get to do this together. Let's go!

In this 4-week Love God Greatly study, take a deeper look into God’s wisdom when it comes to suffering, the power of prayer, the importance of controlling the tongue, and the danger of wealth. James challenges us to not only talk the talk, but walk the walk; to live out our faith in a bold pursuit of holiness. But because not one of us is perfect, the proper way to read James is through the lens of the gospel.
