Washington grows egos better than Iowa grows corn. Most politicians are not humble public servants but men and women laced with pride desiring to wield power and like social media addicts, they dream of headlining the news. Is climbing over people the path to true greatness? Is being in power and control the way to know you are significant? In this study, Jesus tells us the path to true greatness.

The driver of a Porsche 911 in San Francisco's Marina district found his impatience leading to one of life's most embarrassing moments. Tired of waiting in traffic in a construction zone, he attempted to take a short cut over what turned out to be wet cement. Construction workers spent hours trying to gently extract him and his ruined car from their cement cocoon. To make matters worse, the consequences of his impatience were put on YouTube. Worse than foolish impatience in traffic that ruins a car is impatience with God that can ruin a life. Join us as we learn the danger of impatience with God.

James taught us there is something called Fake Faith. It is a counterfeit faith in Jesus that will not save in the end. The way you can tell the difference between saving faith and fake faith is that only saving faith changes our lives. Saving faith doesn't just prompt us to acts of mercy and compassion but it even changes the way we think. It gives us a different set of values, a whole new understanding of what is foolish and what is wise.
