Join us this morning for an impactful message as we dive into **James 4:11-12**, where James calls believers to live faithfully and humbly, especially in how we speak to and about one another. In these verses, James warns us against speaking evil or judging our brothers and sisters, reminding us that judgment belongs to God alone. Pastor Lonnie will unpack how the prideful person is often someone who lives apart from God, and how speaking ill of others reveals that pride. We'll explore how, as followers of Christ, we are called not only to refrain from slander but to use our words for building up and encouraging others. The challenge is to align our speech with our faith—a faith that is not just about believing but about living out the law of love and grace. In this sermon, we’ll reflect on: - The danger of speaking against one another and judging others - How our words reflect a heart that has been transformed by Christ - The calling to use our mouths to build others up, not tear them down (Ephesians 4:29) - The difference between self-righteous judgment and humility before God Whether you're seeking practical ways to strengthen your walk with Christ or looking for encouragement in your faith journey, this message is a timely reminder that our words matter—and that through Christ, our mouths can be repurposed to offer grace and peace.

In a world filled with uncertainty, Pastor Lonnie Atwood invites us to find rest in the sovereignty of God. In “Anxious Times, Sovereign God,” we’ll reflect on the assurance that every moment—even those that seem random or chaotic—has a purpose under God’s eternal plan. Proverbs 16:33 reminds us that, though we cast our lot, every outcome is directed by God. And as Proverbs 16:4 and Romans 8:28 reveal, even in times of trouble, God’s plan works for our ultimate good. Join us as we explore the profound truth that, while the world may panic, Christians can find peace, knowing that nothing separates us from God’s love. Drawing from the example of the early church, who thrived under persecution, Pastor Lonnie will challenge us to lean on God's promises, trusting in His purpose—even in anxious times.

For this week’s episode we dive into James 4:7-10, where we reflect on the powerful call to resist sin, draw near to God, and humble ourselves before the Lord. In this sermon, we explore practical questions like, “How aware are we of our own sin?” and the importance of naming our specific struggles. We discuss the need for genuine repentance—not just feeling bad about our sin but understanding it in the light of our relationship with God and being empowered to make real changes. With insights from historical pastors and examples from the lives of believers, we’re encouraged to truly see our sins, grieve them, and engage in the daily, heartfelt battle against the things that keep us from God.

Join us as we wrestle with what it means to live a life of repentance and dependence on Jesus. This episode is a call to examine, confess, and find strength in Christ to pursue a life of holiness and humility.

In this episode, we explore the powerful story of Elisha and his servant from 2 Kings 6, where God reveals His hidden protection in the face of overwhelming odds. Drawing from personal reflections on the majesty of God's creation—like the night sky and the Aurora Borealis—the speaker connects our sense of wonder in the natural world to the deeper spiritual truths found in Scripture.

As we dive into the account of Elisha and the miraculous unveiling of God's protective army, we are reminded that there is often much more to our circumstances than what we can see. Through the story, we learn that God's people will face difficult days, but God, in His mercy, provides the resources we need, even in impossible situations.

Join us in this faith-building message, where we are encouraged to open our eyes to God’s goodness and grace all around us, trusting in His provision and mercy for complete victory. Whether you are facing a tough season or seeking to deepen your trust in God’s unseen hand, this episode is full of encouragement and spiritual insight.

In this episode, we continue our study of the book of James, focusing on chapter 4, verses 1-6. This passage takes us deeper into the challenges of internal and external conflict, revealing how our desires can often be at odds with God’s will and disrupt the peace He intends for us. Drawing on James' direct message, we explore the vital difference between positional peace with God—our standing as forgiven children through Christ—and experiential peace, which involves living in harmony with His will daily.

Join us as we seek to understand how to align our desires with God's heart, break free from internal turmoil, and experience the peace that comes from a heart fully surrendered to His wisdom. Whether you are struggling with relational conflicts or inner unrest, this message speaks powerfully to how God graciously calls us to peace and transformation through humility and obedience.

In this message, we dive into the powerful truths of James 3:1-12, exploring the profound impact of our words.

Join us as we reflect on how our speech reveals our spiritual condition and how Christ's love and grace offer us hope and healing, even in our weakness. Discover how living faithfully means recognizing the weight of our words and relying on Jesus to transform our hearts and tongues.
