Not Called to Play Church

We have the privilege of hosting the network director of Acts 29 Canada, Dwight Bernier, who will be preaching the Word for us. He’ll have us looking at James 1:19-27, and about the message, Dwight wrote, “It is so easy to act the part and just play church. We can do and say the right things but have hearts that have lost affection for Jesus. Spiritual amnesia can easily take over when we walk through life with complacency. In these few verses, James aims to re-awaken the church to our identity so that we might be about the most important tasks according to Jesus. The sermon is an invitation away from playing and into being the church that Jesus desires.” That sounds like a perfect message for us to hear.
