This week Nic brings us a message based on James 4: 10-12. He explains that we as a church are called to unity, not uniformity. We need biblical humility in knowing who we are in Jesus, beloved forgiven children of God and flawed people. It is from this posture that we can engage with different opinions. Nic provides some great insights including:
- The way we tackle difficult issues is important
- Jesus came to fulfill the law, he is our atonement.
- He both contracts and expands the law giving us the greatest commandment, loving the Lord your God with all your heart and love your neighbour as you love yourself.

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.
