What’s at the root of our conflicts, compromises, and divided hearts? James 4 shows us how unchecked desires and pride pull us from God—but also how humility brings His grace and power into our lives.

The Book of James - Part 5 : Ps Chase Garner
In this week’s message, Ps Chase takes us through James 3, highlighting both the power of our words and the fruit of godly wisdom. James uses vivid images to show how the tongue can steer the direction of lives but also destroy lives if it is not controlled. He then shifts to the wisdom that shapes how we live, giving us the characteristics of wisdom from above. It’s a message that challenges us to surrender our words to God and daily depend on His wisdom for every decision.

The Book of James - Part 4 : Ps Chase Garner
In Part 4 of our James series, we journey through chapter 2, where James challenges the church on two fronts: the sin of showing favoritism and the proof of genuine faith. God shows no partiality, and neither should we—every person is equal in Christ. James also reminds us that real faith is never passive; it is revealed through obedience, expressed in love, and evidenced by good works. This message calls us to mirror God’s heart and live out a faith that is alive, active, and authentic.

A Season to be Set Apart : Ps Dané Garner
In the story of Rahab, a sinful woman living in a wicked city destined for destruction, we see how she is able to set herself apart, choose faith in God, and change not only her life but the lives of those in her family. In this message, we look at practical ways in which we too can set ourselves apart, live in expectation of God’s blessing, and influence the lives of those around us.

The Book of James - Part 3 : Ps Chase Garner
In James Part 3, we are challenged to move beyond merely hearing God’s Word and to put it into practice. Like an exercise program that only works if we actually do it, God’s Word only transforms us when we live it out. This message unpacks how to receive the Word with humility and how to respond in obedience, showing that true faith is revealed not just in what we know, but in how we live.
