A Journey through the book of James that will teach you to unleash a genuine faith by trading dull complacency for wild confidence.

When life spins out of control, we may realize that our faith is not as strong as we’d like it to be. How can we grow our faith so that it holds fast in the inevitable storms of life? Consider which situation in your life requires the most reliance on God right now, then work through this plan for concrete steps toward a life of deeper faith.

The book of James nudges us to “put your money where your mouth is” when it comes to Christianity. If we truly believe God, then that faith will produce godly actions. James offers real-life examples of what faith looks like. Favorite teacher Dr. J. Vernon McGee walks us through the practical, wise instructions found in the wisdom book of the New Testament.

Discipleship works against fear. As we obey God’s commands, we entrust ourselves to him. Like the students attending the schools founded by D. L. Moody in Northfield, MA, God’s people “are encouraged to test the meaning and value of the Bible’s teachings experimentally, by acting upon them, and living them out.” As we “test experimentally” the word of God, we will find that we will have fewer and fewer reasons to be afraid.

When we talk about 'the Word as our FOUNDATION,' we’re talking about how the Bible helps us to experience the reality of our relationship with Him.

In fact, we can’t grow in our relationship with God, without experiencing a growing love for Scripture. Join us for this 6-day devotional diving into the importance of the Bible in growing our faith & relationship with God.
