Is the "best life" one full of happiness and good things and with the absence of hardship or trials? So often our lives seem to consumed by tough moments.

Join us as we look at the Book of James in our new series "Putting your Faith to Work."

Have you ever said, posted, texted something that was taken the wrong way? You were misunderstood, causing a conflict to arise.

As we do, we ask the important question of why John wrote the book and how it applies to us.

Join us as we look at Jesus' response to this question in this week's installment of our sermon series "BELIEVE."

How do we know if the person we're following is worth following and beneficial to our lives? In our latest sermon in our series, we attempt to answer this question.
