This message explores the biblical idea of the “Law of Liberty” through James 2:8–13, focusing on how believers are called to live lives marked by mercy, love, and obedience to God.
The war within
James 4:1-12 | Sun, Jun 14, 2026 | Pastor Ken Schultz

This message explores James 4:1–12 and teaches that the conflicts we experience with others often originate from sinful desires, pride, and divided loyalties within our own hearts. James calls believers to stop blaming external circumstances, humble themselves before God, submit to Him, resist the devil, and receive God's abundant grace.

Meekness of Wisdom
James 3:13-18 | Sun, Jun 07, 2026 | Pastor Ken Schultz

This message from James 3:13–18 explores the difference between worldly wisdom and godly wisdom. Using the analogy of competing operating systems, the message argues that our words, conflicts, and behaviors reveal what is happening in our hearts. The central challenge is not simply behavior modification, but allowing God to transform the heart so that wisdom produces peace, humility, mercy, and righteousness.

Faith Works
James 2:14-26 | Sun, May 31, 2026 | Pastor Ken Schultz

This message unpacks James 2:14–26, where James challenges the idea of faith without action by asking whether such faith can truly save. It explains that faith without works is dead. The message also clarifies that salvation is by grace through faith in Jesus, but genuine saving faith is always demonstrated through a transformed life and obedient action.

Authentic Love
James 2:1-7 | Sun, May 10, 2026 | Pastor Ken Schultz

In The Epistle of James 2:1–7, James teaches that authentic faith is revealed through authentic love — a love that refuses to show partiality or rank people based on wealth, appearance, status, or influence. The message warns believers against favoritism and reminds the church that every person is made in the image of God and equally valuable because of Christ’s sacrifice.

What true religion looks like
James 1:25-26 | Sun, May 03, 2026 | Pastor Ken Schultz

This message explores what genuine faith looks like according to James 1:26–27, emphasising that true religion is not outward appearance but inward transformation expressed through action.

Joy in Trial
James 1:1-8 | Sun, Apr 12, 2026 | Pastor Ken Schultz

Liberty to Love
Galatians 5:6-15 | Sun, Jun 01, 2014 | Pastor Ken Schultz

We have liberty by faith in Jesus, not by the works of our flesh, but faith that is sincere works and is powered by His love. We have Liberty to love!

Liberty in Love
Galatians 5:1-6 | Sun, May 25, 2014 | Pastor Ken Schultz

This Memorial Day we remember those who died to give us liberty. They honor Jesus, who died to give us liberty from the law, sin, and death. Liberty is not freedom to do what you want, but freedom to live as God intends us. We can’t do that through the law, only through the liberty He gave us in Christ Jesus.

Walking in Liberty
Galatians 5:16-26 | Sun, Jun 08, 2014 | Pastor Ken Schultz

How do we walk in the liberty Christ has won for us? It is by the spirit that we walk and leave sin behind nailed to the Cross by the power of His love! Because He first loved us, he plants the fruit of love in our hearts. This changes us and our external behavior in a way that the external law never could.

Boasting that works
James 4:13-17 | Sun, Jun 21, 2026 | Nigel Symons

This message explores James 4:13–17, challenging believers to replace self-confidence and independent planning with humble dependence on God's sovereign will. James reminds us that our lives are like a mist—brief, fragile, and completely dependent upon God—therefore our plans, ambitions, and decisions should always be submitted to Him.
