What Kind of faith saves?
May 10, 2026
Speaker: Nathanael van der Kolk
Series: James
Text: James 2:14-26
James says, “Faith without deeds is dead.” But doesn’t the Bible say we are saved by faith alone? How are we to make sense of this? Join us as we look at one of the most debated and misunderstood passages of scripture. As we unpack this, we will be answering the question: What kind of faith saves?
The Sin of Favouritism
May 3, 2026
Speaker: Albert Couperus
Series: James
Text: James 2:1-13
James pulls no punches: if we belong to our glorious Lord Jesus Christ, mercy must mark us. We’ve received mercy at the cross—Jesus moved toward people like us who had nothing to offer him. But we still slip into favouritism and cliques, quietly deciding who is “worth” our time. James calls that what it is: sin against the royal law to love our neighbour as ourselves. One day, mercy and judgment will meet— and in Jesus, mercy triumphs over judgment. Join us this Sunday at 9.30am as we see how the mercy we’ve received in Christ must reshape the way we see and treat each other.
Practical Religion

Speaker: Albert Couperus
Series: James
Text: James 1:13-27
Green‑slip time for the Christian life: in James 1, God puts our tempers, tongues and ‘religion’ up on the hoist to expose self‑deception—and to change us by his word, not just hand us a checklist.

Speaker: Brad Hibbard
Series: James

The Right Way to See Trials
April 12, 2026
Speaker: Albert Couperus
Series: James
Text: James 1:1-12
Trials feel like pointless interruptions, but James says they’re actually God’s gym to grow us up in Christ. Today we’ll see why, if God’s judgment has already fallen on Jesus at the cross, the trials we face now can never be His punishment but His fatherly training. Come and hear how the risen Jesus turns even your hardest seasons into a pathway to the “crown of life.”
