Morning: The sermon, "Becoming God's Friend," focused on James 4:4-10. In this passage, James warns that becoming friends with the world makes us enemies of God. He captures our attention by asking two questions to remind us of what we already know: that being like the world makes us enemies with God and that we have a sin nature.
These reminders are followed by a word of hope. God gives grace to the humble.
Following this word of encouragement, James gives us a recipe for repentance. He tells us to submit to God, to resist the devil, to come close to God, to feel the weight of our sins, and to humble ourselves before God. If we will do this, God will lift us up.
Evening: We had movie night. It was a great time of fellowship.
