Jeff Faust guides us through a difficult section of the book of James. The Bible tells us elsewhere that we are saved by faith alone. James, however, tells us that without works, our faith is dead. It's not just the truth you know, but also how you act upon that truth. Our faith becomes real when we choose to demonstrate it.
Jeff challenges us with being appreciative of the tests life throws at us. God tests us because he loves us and wants us to grow to become more like Jesus. When tests come our way, we can recognize the love behind them and get through them with steadfast faith and humble prayer.

Bryan McLees and Kirk Noonan challenge us to donate one day's wages to help Convoy of Hope feed the hungry around the world
Jeff talks about how society focuses so much on success that it becomes our identity, but that's not what Jesus wants for us. No matter where we are in our journey, God values fruit, even the baby fruit that we tend to dismiss.
Jeff preaches on love, lust, and sex. Love is a selfless practice, choosing what is best for another. Lust selfishly looks to the self. It grips our heart and does not let go. Sex is a gift from God that can be an act of lust as well as love, even within a marriage. Wherever we are or have been with lust, God will forgive us, transform our shame, and move us to love.
