Fourteenth Sunday after Pentecost: Messages to the Community of God - Humbly Accepting the Word the Word Planted in Us

On this Fourteenth Sunday after Pentecost we begin a new series on James' letter to a church struggling to live practically while their faith is being challenged.  These Messages to/for the Community of God guide us in living practically as well. 

Connect to Humbling Accepting the Word Planted in Us.   Practical faith is not about sermons giving us "TEn Steps to Do This" or "Eight Ways to Do That" but practical faith is being open to what God has planted in our lives - and our giving attention what is being cultivated in us.  We find it leads us to set aside our own agendas and we are led and empowered by God's Spirit to embrace God's agenda / purpose for humanity.
