This week, we continued our series in James looking at pride. It was a cause of conflict in the church James wrote to and a reason some people's prayers were going unanswered. James has a solution - humility and being filled with the Spirit! Will we take up the same challenge and embrace humble, Spirit-filled friendship with God?
This talk was given as part of an all-age service.

This includes welcoming each other, serving each other and challenging each other when we need to, even though we are often very different.
