How to Face Hard Times / The Book of James / Week 1

Nobody wants to go through difficult seasons in life. We work hard to make life comfortable and when things do get rough, we get angry with God and wonder if He even cares what's happening to us. But what if the difficult times in life were less about what's happening TO us and more about what God wants to do IN us? How does God want us to look at the hard seasons of life?

Getting Back On Track With God / Jonah / Week 3

So maybe you've blown it in the past. And maybe you believe God will give you another chance even if you don't deserve it.

That's what we're talking about this weekend as we continue our series in Jonah!
