Message: “Week 3: Real Faith in a Status-Driven Society” from Shawn Stroud

In this message, Pastor Shawn addresses the realities of living in a world that continues to be more and more consumed with money, wealth, possessions, and status, and less and less concerned with caring for others. To this, God’s Word says, “Don’t go there and avoid the pitfalls this lifestyle offers”. As we reflect on our own hearts in light of God’s Word and the Real joy and peace He offers us, we will be more generous, loving, kind, and less judgmental of people’s positions, possessions, and popularity.

From Series: "Real Faith"

Life isn’t neat and tidy, and neither are the challenges many of us face in our day to day lives. We don’t want a shallow faith that just tells people, “Keep your eye on the prize”. We are hungry for more clarity and something that stands up to the toughest of times and the winds and waves of culture. We are hungry for Real Faith! One of the Bible's best books to address this is the Book of James, which was written to inspire, encourage, challenge, and equip the early church with real life practices in the face of overwhelming persecution and cultural corruption. Just as it brought comfort, confidence, and courage to the 1st Century followers of Jesus then, it can still do the same for us today!
