    • How He Loves Us

      Sunday Sermon by Pastor Matt Price

      James’s Assumption: 
Christians Belong in Christian Community

      • James would be stunned by our modern idea that you can follow Jesus apart from a concrete connection to the body of Christ!
      • We learn how to be Christian in particular, local community with others!

      “For where there is envy and selfish ambition, there will also be disorder and wickedness of every kind.” – James 3:16

      “But the wisdom from above is first pure, then peaceable, gentle, opem to reason, full of mercy and good fruits, impartial and sencere” – James 3:17
