This week, Tim Cole dives into James 2, a powerful reminder that God’s people are called to see beyond appearances. In a world that often favors the polished and powerful, Scripture reminds us that favoritism has no place in a life shaped by genuine faith. We’re often tempted to judge a book by its cover, but God looks at the heart and He calls us to do the same. James 2 challenges us to respond with mercy instead of bias, and with love instead of labels. Let this passage become more than just a verse. Let it shape the way you see people, live your faith, and reflect the heart of Christ.
This week we start a new series called Life Verse, where we dive into the verses that shape our faith and guide our lives. We begin with one of the most beloved passages in all of Scripture: Psalm 23, focusing especially on verse 1 — “The Lord is my shepherd; I lack nothing.” What does it truly mean to have the Lord as your Shepherd? And if He isn’t leading your life...who is? Join us as we explore the deep comfort, trust, and challenge found in this powerful verse, and ask the life-shaping question: Who is your shepherd?
