Heartland Church Of Fort Wayne

When we are dead to sin and alive to God, part of walking in newness of life is setting our minds on the things of heaven.

The arts bridge the gap between spiritual and the physical.

There is an act of waving an offering before Yahweh that is connected to the death and resurrection of Jesus.

As we wrap up our series on the Book of James, we are encouraged to be aware of the weight of our vows; to make habits of prayer and praise; and engage with mutually edifying community.

Looking at the mosaic of scripture we can get a full picture of the way we should think about judgement.And James encourages us to hold our plans and ideas of the future loosely.

What does it mean to live an honorable life?

Who are we inviting to our table?

What we do matters, but James reminds us that what we say also has immense importance.

James was not writing to people to tell them how to be saved, he was writing to believers about how to live as those who are saved.

James 2:1 "...how can you claim to have faith in our glorious Lord Jesus Christ if you favor some people over others?"

As believers we need to be intentional about what we say (or type) and make sure to listen on purpose.

When temptations come, what is our response? How can we tell if it's actually a test from God?

As the early church faced persecution, James encouraged them to approach God with humility and faith.

As we begin a deep dive into the book of James, we are encouraged to consider what we are doing on earth and how we are doing it.

God placed us into community for a reason and a purpose.

God's plan from the start was to set things right. Even the devil couldn't see the strategy before Jesus did what he came to do.

What do we really think about loving others?What do you think about loving yourself? Pastor Carolyn challenges us to ponder our thoughts and work through the things that keep us from Biblical love.
