Faith can feel strong in the quiet moments—during prayer, in worship, or while reading Scripture. But when life demands action, when obedience costs something, or when someone needs help right in front of us, belief is tested. Words are easy. Action requires trust.

In James 2:14–26, we are confronted with a faith that moves. James points to Abraham and Rahab as examples of trust expressed through obedience. Their lives show that genuine faith responds to God and serves others. Faith and works belong together as evidence of a living relationship with Christ.

Consider what it means for our faith to be active in daily life, shaped by obedience, compassion, and courage. Recorded Sunday, February 15th, 2026 Message by Pastor Tim Ward Scripture: James 2:14-26

Walk into almost any gathering, and it doesn’t take long to notice how quickly we size people up. Who seems important, who feels comfortable, who gets noticed, and who fades into the background. These moments may feel small and even unintentional, but they shape the way communities function and who feels like they belong.

In James 2:1–13, James speaks directly to favoritism in the church, calling believers to examine how faith in Jesus shows up in everyday interactions. We're challenged to see people the way God does, to measure our actions by mercy rather than status, and to live out a faith that reflects God’s impartial love. Together, we’ll consider how obedience, compassion, and humility are woven into genuine faith.

Most of us have heard God’s Word many times. We know the verses, we recognize the language, and we’re familiar with what Scripture says. But hearing alone isn’t the goal. James reminds us that God’s Word is meant to shape how we live, not just what we know.

In James 1:19–27, we’re challenged to move beyond listening and into obedience. This sermon follows James’ clear progression: hearing God’s Word, accepting it with humility, and then putting it into action. Using everyday examples like mirrors, speech, and practical care for others, James shows what genuine faith looks like when it takes root in real life.

Join us as we consider what it means to let God’s Word truly sink in—and to live it out in ways that reflect Christ to the world around us.

Few things test our faith like seasons we didn’t choose. Trials have a way of showing up unannounced—through loss, pressure, uncertainty, or waiting longer than we expected. In those moments, joy often feels out of reach, and endurance can feel thin.

In James 1:2–12, we’re invited to see trials differently—not as interruptions to faith, but as places where God is actively at work. How is perseverance is formed, why does wisdom matter in hardship, and how does God shape mature faith through real-life testing. Consider how believers can remain grounded, hopeful, and steady when circumstances are anything but easy.

Come discover how God uses trials to strengthen faith—and learn how to endure with faith when life presses hard.

Worry has a way of creeping into everyday life. It shows up in unanswered questions, uncertain futures, and the quiet pressure to hold everything together. Even moments meant for joy can feel crowded out by anxiety and restlessness.

In Philippians 4:4–9, Paul writes from prison yet calls believers to rejoice, pray, and guard their hearts and minds in Christ. Joy is not rooted in circumstances; prayer reshapes our anxieties, and disciplined thinking helps us live with a peace that reflects trust in God’s nearness.

We spend a lot of time chasing what we think we need—security, comfort, success, approval—only to discover that even when we get it, something still feels missing. The question beneath our striving is often simpler than we expect.

Drawing from Philippians 4, Pastor Tim reflects on Paul’s surprising contentment in both need and abundance and explores how Paul’s perspective challenges our assumptions about fulfillment, strength, and provision. \Consider what it means to learn contentment, how reliance on Christ reshapes our desires, and how God’s promise to supply our needs reframes the way we evaluate success and lack.

As a new year begins, many people pause to think about what they want to change, improve, or commit to doing differently. Resolutions are made with good intentions, yet so often they fade as routines return and distractions creep back in. Still, the desire behind them reflects something deeper—a longing for purpose, direction, and faithfulness.

In this message from Matthew 28:18–20, Pastor Tim invites us to look beyond short-lived promises and consider a resolution that Jesus Himself gives to His followers. The Great Commission calls believers to live with confidence in Christ’s authority, obedience to His commands, and a willingness to participate in His ongoing work in the world. Together, we’ll reflect on what it means to follow Jesus not just at the start of a new year, but every day that follows.

Start the year by embracing a resolution that doesn’t expire—step into the life Jesus calls you to live.
