James had a lot to say about love and law. He corrects the church, rebuking the partiality and favoritism of the wealthy while many neglected the poor. James discusses how partiality transgresses the law of love. But how? Is there more to the law than we understand at surface value? Does the fairness with which we treat each other impact our keeping of God's Commandments? Can a person keep the Commandments yet not care for the poor? Can one be a Commandment keeper and be wealthy? What does love have to do with God's Law and justice. We explore these topics this week.

What did the apostles believe about God's Law. Surely, the people who spent the most time with Jesus would know what Jesus taught and believed about the Law both prior to and after His death and resurrection. What did they teach about God's Law? Did they contradict one another, or did they believe the same thing? This week we take a look at the writings of Paul, Peter, James, John and Jude in an effort to understand what the apostles believed about the relationship between the Law and Salvation. We will compare their teachings with the teachings of many churches today.

This week we'll explore how Jesus put the law in it's proper place.

What were Satan's lies about God and how has God chosen to respond? God created beings that are free moral agents. What does this say about His government as king of the Universe? Can there truly be a merger of justice and love? If God was only love, or only justice, what would that mean for us?
