Helpful tools and materials for studying Scripture and growing in the knowledge of God's Word.
The following resources are recommended to help believers study the Scriptures, understand sound doctrine, and grow in their faith.
My First Book: Not Hearers Only
Many people hear Scripture, but fewer allow it to shape how they live.
Not Hearers Only: Reflections Through the Book of James is a devotional journey through the book of James, adapted from a chapter-by-chapter teaching series. Rather than a technical commentary, this book offers practical reflections on what it means to live out a real, active, and obedient faith.
Across each chapter, James challenges readers to examine their speech, their actions, their attitudes, and their dependence on God. This book walks through those themes in a clear and accessible way, focusing on how faith is meant to be lived, not just understood.
At its core, this book asks a simple but searching question: will we only hear the Word, or will we live it?
Where should I start?
No idea where to start in scripture? If you have never read the Bible before we highly recommend starting in the Gospel According to John

Not Hearers Only
Many people know Scripture, but far fewer allow Scripture to shape how they live. The book of James challenges readers to move beyond hearing into living to examine what faith looks like in trials, in our words, in our plans, and in our daily walk with Christ.
Not Hearers Only: Reflections Through the Book of James is a collection of devotional reflections adapted from a chapter-by-chapter study through James. Rather than offering a technical commentary, this book invites readers to engage with Scripture and consider how biblical truth transforms everyday life through faith, obedience, humility, prayer, and restoration.
Written with practical application and a desire to point people toward Christ, this book asks one central question: Will we only hear the Word, or will we live it?
