Our Mission is to reach the next person for Jesus.  Pray for the one person or one family you would like to get connected to God. 
TEACHING

The book of James is a fast-paced, practical series all about real faith in real life. You’ll be encouraged, challenged, and inspired as we walk through this powerful little letter together. Plus, everyone will receive a free James Journal for the series, complete with sermon notes, group guides, and a daily scripture reading to help you journal your way through James.

Jan. 18: Fast, Slow, Slow (James 1:19-22)  Three habits that can change your relationships: What if most relational fallout is really a speed problem?  James says to be quick to listen, slow to speak, and slow to become angry, and he ties it directly to the way God grows us.  Why would those three speeds matter so much, and what does it have to do with humility and the word planted in you?
This Sunday, we’ll unpack “quick, slow, slow” and learn what it looks like when your instincts start to change.


Join us in-Person at 9:00am (acapella) or 11:15AM (instrumental) or Livestream at YouTube.com/Clearcreekcoc or clearcreek.online.church.
