Real Religion

Jul 13, 2025    Pastor Chad Garrison

It’s Practical Christianity mandated by the gospel, and characterized by both truly “hearing” and then resolutely “doing” the truth.


A summer series through the book of James, a letter that serves as a how-to manual for the Christian life. When we deal with trials, contentions, and lack of faith, James teaches us that we can still have joy in the midst of our circumstances. The foundation of the book is the importance of faith; faith or the lack thereof can determine the direction of one’s life.


QUESTIONS FOR THE ROAD

1. How has the “Implanted Word of Christ” changed you? What’s different now in your thoughts, words and actions? 


2. What are the obstacles that get in the way of you allowing the fruit of self-control be more evident in your life?


3.What does a life of service look like for you? What are your next steps in pursuing, or reinforcing this in your life?
