A Faith That Lives

What if the faith you inherited was incomplete? Not wrong, just missing something.

In this message, Pastor Chris kicks off a new series called More Than Belief, exploring what it means to have an embodied faith for everyday life. Drawing from James chapter 2 and the theology of Latin American scholar René Padilla, he challenges the idea that faith is simply about believing the right things or securing a spot in heaven. Jesus wasn't pointing people toward a distant destination. He was announcing a kingdom coming here, now, and inviting us into it.

Faith without action, James says, is like a body without breath. But the good news? You already have a gift, and when you use it, the whole community is better for it.
