Read MoreThis week we begin a new sermon series on the book of James, a series we’re calling ‘A Faith That Matters.” James believes that faith in the Lord Jesus is a faith that deeply matters for all of life, and is a faith that should be profoundly shaping the way believers live.

Read MoreIn the question Jesus asks that we’re exploring this week, “Can you drink the cup I’m going to drink?”, we see the contrast between what was expected of Jesus and what he will actually go on to do, foretelling how ultimately Jesus came to serve instead of be served, giving his life as a ransom for many.
