Dear St Paul’s:
This Sunday we begin a 4 week sermon series on the book of James. This is one of my favorite books in the Bible, and a timely one, too. Sadly, it has been my experience that the church mirrors the culture more and more, in both words and actions. The Book of James was written to a church community trying to figure out how to follow Jesus amidst persecution and cultural opposition.
James reminds them to not show favoritism toward anyone, especially the rich; to be mindful of speech and the power of words; and to live lives of trust and prayer. My prayer is that as we examine the Scriptures together, the Lord transforms us to be more and more the people of Christ as reflected in this powerful book.
Join us at 9 or 11 am!
Pastor Evan
