 Justice: A Shared Moral Vision | File Type: audio/mpeg | Duration: Unknown

What does God require of us? Justice. Justice that looks like fairness, consideration for the powerless, the suffering, those who have been mistreated. Justice that is making right judgments, doing the right thing even when it is hard. It is not prejudging or misjudging people. It is always seeking to do what is right. It is not simply something we believe in, but what each of us are called to be and to do. We are to be just. And this is something that every Republican, every Democrat, every liberal and every conservative, should agree upon, even if we disagree about what precisely it always looks like and how we get there. And as Christians, it is what the Lord requires of us. God expects us, requires of us, that we do justice – we judge with righteousness, we ensure fairness and equity on a large scale, and in our individual lives.

The Power of Praying for One Another

 Pride and Partiality, or Pure Religion? | File Type: audio/mpeg | Duration: Unknown

Today’s theme from Luke winds its way throughout the letter, and it has to do with the “great reversal” that comes from the gospel. He speaks of pride and humility, of favoritism or partiality in the church, and he speaks of judging others, of the rich and the poor and of what constitutes true religion and the worthless substitute. Take a listen as Pastor Adam Hamilton invites us to consider how James calls us not to judge a book by its cover, not to make assumptions about others but to value and show honor, dignity and respect particularly to those who are struggling.

 Even the Demons Believe - and Shudder! | File Type: audio/mpeg | Duration: Unknown

“Even the demons believe…and shudder” is so powerful – it is not enough simply to believe, we’re meant to act. You can be an “armchair quarterback” and you’ll only be a fan. Or you can give your time, do what makes you a little uncomfortable, give something of yourself, volunteer and serve others, and you’ll actually be on Jesus’ team and in the game. So, let’s not be practical atheists – it is not enough simply to believe in God, we’re meant to do something about it. And in doing something about it – in activating our faith, we find meaning, joy and life, and the world is changed. So, are you going to be a fan or are you ready to get in the game?

 Trials, Temptations, and the Testing of Your Faith | File Type: audio/mpeg | Duration: Unknown

What does it mean to consider it “joy” when we face hardship in life? Our love, faith, and character are tested in and by both trials and temptations. It's not God administering a test - it is life that administers the test. Life is a test, every day a test, and James knows that as we remain steadfast in trials, and resist the temptations, our fiath grows and is found to be tried and true. Tap play and take a listen as we explore how God works through trials, temptations, and the testing of our faith.

 A Defining Moment | File Type: audio/mpeg | Duration: Unknown

The United Methodist Church is at a defining moment in the history of our denomination, and as we kick off the fall here at Resurrection, now is an important time to remember who we are, who God has called us to be and what God has called us to do - as a church, and as individual Christians. Take a listen as we explore how we can remember who we are and come together to change lives, strengthen churches, and transform the world.

 Stuck and Needing a Savior | File Type: audio/mpeg | Duration: Unknown

This week kicks off our Summer Revival series with the theme of God and Tractors – a fun and lighthearted theme aimed at illustrating scriptural truths about the Christian life. This week we explore a basic premise of biblical faith: We all need help sometimes. We need deliverance. We need rescuing. We need God to save us. Jesus himself came to save us. His name, Yeshua in Hebrew, means God Saves. Christians call him our Savior. Tap play and take a listen as Pastor Adam explores our need for a Savior through the lens of tractors.
