Dr. Brian Hill (Senior Pastor), "A Proper Perspective", Modern Worship Praise Team (11:15 Service).       13.  Now listen, you who say, “Today or tomorrow we will go to this or that city, spend a year there, carry on business and make money.”  14.  Why, you do not even know what will happen tomorrow. What is your life? You are a mist that appears for a little while and then vanishes.  15.  Instead, you ought to say, “If it is the Lord’s will, we will live and do this or that.”  16.  As it is, you boast in your arrogant schemes. All such boasting is evil.  17.  If anyone, then, knows the good they ought to do and doesn’t do it, it is sin for them.       (James 4:13-17 NIV)To view a video version of the Modern Worship Service please click on the following link:     https://youtu.be/HtqA_BdQs-o(The audio version of the Modern Worship Service will most likely have to be stopped from playing or else it will be heard as well as the audio track of the video version.)

Dr. Brian Hill (Senior Pastor), "He Is Alive", Children's Time, Modern Worship Praise Team (11:15 Service).       1.  On the first day of the week, very early in the morning, the women took the spices they had prepared and went to the tomb.  2.  They found the stone rolled away from the tomb,  3.  but when they entered, they did not find the body of the Lord Jesus.  4.  While they were wondering about this, suddenly two men in clothes that gleamed like lightning stood beside them.  5.  In their fright the women bowed down with their faces to the ground, but the men said to them, “Why do you look for the living among the dead?  6.  He is not here; he has risen! Remember how he told you, while he was still with you in Galilee:  7.  ‘The Son of Man must be delivered over to the hands of sinners, be crucified and on the third day be raised again.’ ”  8.  Then they remembered his words.       (Luke 24:1-8 NIV)To view a video version of the Modern Worship Service please click on the following link:     https://yout

Anyone who speaks against a brother or sister or judges them speaks against the law and judges it. When you judge the law, you are not keeping it, but sitting in judgment on it.  12.  There is only one Lawgiver and Judge, the one who is able to save and destroy. But you—who are you to judge your neighbor?       (James 4:11-12 NIV)To view a video version of the Modern Worship Service please click on the following link:    (The audio version of the Modern Worship Service will most likely have to be stopped from playing or else it will be heard as well as the audio track of the video version.)

Don’t they come from your desires that battle within you?  2.  You desire but do not have, so you kill. You covet but you cannot get what you want, so you quarrel and fight. You do not have because you do not ask God.  3.  When you ask, you do not receive, because you ask with wrong motives, that you may spend what you get on your pleasures.       4.  You adulterous people, don’t you know that friendship with the world means enmity against God? Therefore, anyone who chooses to be a friend of the world becomes an enemy of God.  5.  Or do you think Scripture says without reason that he jealously longs for the spirit he has caused to dwell in us?  6.  But he gives us more grace. That is why Scripture says:“God opposes the proud but shows favor to the humble.”       7.  Submit yourselves, then, to God. Resist the devil, and

Let them show it by their good life, by deeds done in the humility that comes from wisdom.  14.  But if you harbor bitter envy and selfish ambition in your hearts, do not boast about it or deny the truth.  15.  Such “wisdom” does not come down from heaven but is earthly, unspiritual, demonic.  16.  For where you have envy and selfish ambition, there you find disorder and every evil practice.       17.  But the wisdom that comes from heaven is first of all pure; then peace-loving, considerate, submissive, full of mercy and good fruit, impartial and sincere.  18.  Peacemakers who sow in peace reap a harvest of righteousness.       (James 3:13-18 NIV)To view a video version of the Modern Worship Service please click on the following link:   https://youtu.be/ECpRoHQv2y0(The audio version of the Modern Worship Service will most likely h

Anyone who is never at fault in what they say is perfect, able to keep their whole body in check.       3.  When we put bits into the mouths of horses to make them obey us, we can turn the whole animal.  4.  Or take ships as an example. Although they are so large and are driven by strong winds, they are steered by a very small rudder wherever the pilot wants to go.  5.  Likewise, the tongue is a small part of the body, but it makes great boasts. Consider what a great forest is set on fire by a small spark.  6.  The tongue also is a fire, a world of evil among the parts of the body. It corrupts the whole body, sets the whole course of one’s life on fire, and is itself set on fire by hell.       7.  All kinds of
