You can hide in a crowd, but if you really want to get connected, join a small group. HOPE Church has all kinds, some for cutting-edge spiritual growth and others just to make friends.

Adult Sunday School - The Book of James is an intensely practical manual on the outworking of true faith in everyday life. It explores Christian conduct from several perspectives and shifts abruptly from topic to topic. Faith perseveres under trials, resists temptations, responds to the Word, overcomes prejudice, produces good works, controls the tongue, manifests wisdom, submits to God rather than worldly pleasure, depends on God rather than wealth, and waits patiently for the return of the Lord. Biblical faith moves from assent to actions, from words to works. This study will focus on the subjects and themes of James and relate his teachings to that of other scripture, both Old and New Testament. Come and enjoy God's word! 9am, room 10
