Our GRIT series is a deep dive into the book of James, taking on the challenge to live out our faith. We are delighted to welcome our Young Adults Pastor Joren who is sharing his first message at our Sunday morning service and it's a cracker!
Joren tackles James 2: 14-26 and clearly articulates what it looks like to have real faith. We are redeemed, forgiven and renewed by faith, and the call on our lives to express that in our lives, by our actions and 'works'.
* Real faith - not a poser
* Faith vs Works
* Belief determines action
* Action implies Belief

Over the coming weeks, we’ll be diving into the book of James, taking on the challenge to live out our faith.
This week we are focusing on James 1: 9-18 and we consider some of the big questions of life:
* Poor vs Rich, in God's upside down kingdom rich does not equal better.
* Perseverance under trial and suffering, it's not a test of endurance or about the results but a willingness to live with purpose.
* Principles for tackling temptation and sin

Over the coming weeks, we’ll be diving into the book of James, a short but powerful letter written by Jesus’ half-brother. Known for his wisdom and courage, James challenges us to live out our faith with practical, wholehearted devotion.
This week Nic focuses on James 1:2 "Consider it pure joy, my brothers and sisters, whenever you face trials of many kinds, because you know that the testing of your faith produces perseverance." He considers what does a gritty, real faith look like, and how can we not just endure but rather grow through struggles and difficulties.

On Sunday Nic shared his first message as our new Lead Pastor, offering us an insight into how he became a Christian. The message focuses on Romans 12: 1-2 a call to 'true and proper worship' that does not conform to the pattern of this world, but transforms us as we renew our minds.
Nic offers three key points
1. Our doctrine leads to doxology
2. We must know who/se we are
3. Walking out the truth
