Hello everyone!
Just a few thoughts about our James introduction.
We had a great turnout for our first Sunday. It was great to see some faces we haven't seen for a while (though we missed some that we normally get to see who were traveling, etc.).
If you missed this Sunday, there are a few things I'd like to share with you.
First, the video that we watched on Sunday is available to view here: James Ossuary Video.
It's slightly different in that it has a different narrator, but it is the same content.
We also filled out a Viewing Guide which is available here: James Video Viewing Guide.
The CHALLENGE: On Sunday, I challenged all of us to read the book of James once a week every week for the duration of our study of James. It sounds like a lot, but the truth is, James is a short book and you can read it in about 20 minutes to an hour!
Here is a link to reading James in the NIV translation so you can get started: James (NIV).
THIS SUNDAY we'll be covering James 1:1-8. We're calling the message "The Benefits of Troubles." Here are some questions James is answering:
Should Christians expect difficult times?
How should Christians respond to difficult times?
What is the point in being faithful when times are tough?
Where does wisdom come from?
And we'll see one of James' major themes emerge: the double-minded Christian!
You don't want to miss it! See you this Sunday!

Don't Forget a Special Sunday THIS Sunday!
Hello everyone!
HAPPY NEW YEAR!
As Google has reminded us, 2013 is over and 2014 has begun!
I just wanted to remind everyone about our special Sunday this Sunday, January 5. We're starting 2014 with a special study of the book of James. I think we're going to find James to be a lot of fun and a true challenge to us.
DON'T FORGET that we'll be starting our study this Sunday by watching a video about a very important archaeological find regarding James! The find is very controversial. However, the video is informative and will be a really fun and interesting way to introduce ourselves to this very important biblical writer!
So...I really hope as many of us can be at church on the 5th as possible! Not only will it be interesting, but the video will be a great discussion starter and catalyst for a great learning experience in this wonderful little book of the Bible.
Again, I can't wait to get started! See you THIS SUNDAY!

James Introduction
Hello everyone!
Just a reminder that, though Vangie and I will be out of town this Sunday (the 29th), we'll be back for the following Sunday (Jan 5) when we'll be starting our new study of the book of James!
Vangie and I are really excited to start our study with a very special video. On Sunday, January 5, we'll be starting our study by watching a video about a very important archaeological find which some people say is the resting place of James himself! The find is very controversial. However, the video is very informative and will be a really fun and interesting way to introduce ourselves to this very important biblical writer!
So...I really hope as many of us can be at church on the 5th as possible! Not only will it be interesting, but the video will be a great discussion starter and catalyst for a great learning experience in this wonderful little book of the Bible.
I can't wait to get started! See you on January 5!

P.S. Thanks to my old James professor, Eric Stevens, for loaning us this DVD!

Coming Up!
Greetings everyone!
The Holidays are definitely upon us. I want to tell you about the next sermon study we're going to be doing.
On Sunday, December 29, Vangie and I will be out of town visiting my kids and my family. We'll be back the first Sunday of January when we'll be starting the book of James!
I think we're all really going to enjoy James' message and his straightforward, honest, and passionate style! James is one of my favorites. I've already heard that many of us have never studied his book. I can't wait to introduce him to you.
I'm very excited to begin this new study! I hope you are excited, too.

Prayer request
Sharon Freeman asked that several of her nurses be place on the prayer list as they have family in the Philippines and, of course, have not been able to get in touch with them. Please remember to pray for all of the people there including these nurses' families.
