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

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.

Taming the tongue
James 3:1-12 | Sun, May 24, 2026 | Jason Magafas

This message unpacks the teaching from the Book of James 3 about the power and danger of the tongue, showing how something small can have massive destructive or life-giving influence. It emphasizes that human effort alone cannot tame the tongue—only surrender to God through Christ can transform what comes out of our mouths.

Tempted, not trapped
James 1:16-25 | Sun, Apr 26, 2026 | Andre Delport

This message, based on James 1:16–25, explores the difference between being tempted and being trapped, emphasising that temptation is common but does not have to lead to bondage. It highlights that believers often lose the battle not at the level of desire, but at the level of interpretation—what they believe temptation means about them.

Life's great lessons
James 1:9-15 | Sun, Apr 19, 2026 | Jason Magafas

This message explores three key lessons from James 1:9–15: earthly status is temporary, trials have eternal rewards, and sin begins within the human heart. It emphasizes that temptation does not come from God but from our own desires.
