Gospel Shaped Perspectives on Suffering
Join us this week as we cover Romans 12:12 which we skipped over this past Sunday. We encourage you to view Sunday’s sermon if you haven’t had a chance to do so yet (https://youtu.be/Ow84_x_aXd8). CCLI Streaming License # 20229783
Contentment Surgery (Jas 5)
James, while addressing the issue of oppression by the rich, hints at a character quality we must develop for our lives–contentment. This subject applies not just to finances but to many areas of life. But in order to come to that place, we need some spiritual surgery. What’s the deeper issue? Thanks for watching.

Speak & Act (Jas 2:12)
Due to time, I was unable to finish my portion of text from James 2 on Sunday. See the link below for that sermon. Today, let’s look at James 2:12. James talks about the subject of judgment which has a bad flavor in the mouth of many people today but an irrefutable doctrine on the Bible. What is so important about it for our lives as Christians? Thanks for watching. “The Plague of Partiality” (Jas 2:1-13)
SO THAT WE MIGHT RELY ON GOD (JAMES 1)
We are taking a break in Genesis to focus more intentionally on James as we work through it on Sunday mornings and keep that text fresh in our minds. Set aside some time to watch that video from Sunday. Join us today as we seek to gain some perspective on trials, particularly God’s perspective.
FOLLOW THROUGH (2 COR 9)
We’re back in 2 Corinthians again looking at chapter 9. Paul talks about follow through with the Corinthians believers on a commitment they made to some fellow brothers & sister in Christ. The content of the follow through is giving. Paul notes the benefit of giving. As we look at this passage together, we’ll also note how it has been used out of context and abused by the prosperity gospel movement. 2 Corinthians 9 NET
AN ETERNAL PERSPECTIVE (PART 2)
We sometimes live with the perspective that earth is our final home. Okay maybe is more than sometimes for some of us. The Apostle Paul continues to challenge that mindset in 2 Corinthians 5 encouraing us to look at things from an eternal perspective. Paul David Tripp had some very challenge words along these lines I saw today. Take a moment to watch. 2 Corinthans 5 NET
AN ETERNAL PERSPECTIVE (PART 1)
None of us appreciates suffering, yet Paul tells us in 2 Corinthians 4 that God has a purpose even in the suffering we experience. Paul encourages us to look at our suffering from an eternal perspective to give us focus as we experience it.
