The text for this week is James 5:1-6, in which James talks about the perils of riches. The worship theme will be the Justice of God and our right attitude toward riches. The visual theme will be rusted things, because James says that for the rich, their treasures will turn to rust.

Psalm 9:7-10 But the LORD sits enthroned forever; he has established his throne for justice, 8and he judges the world with righteousness; he judges the peoples with uprightness. 9 The LORD is a stronghold for the oppressed, a stronghold in times of trouble. 10 And those who know your name put their trust in you, for you, O LORD, have not forsaken those who seek you.
Amos 5:24 But let justice roll down like waters, and righteousness like an ever-flowing stream.
Titus 3:4-7 But when the goodness and loving kindness of God our Savior appeared, 5he saved us, not because of works done by us in righteousness, but according to his own mercy, by the washing of regeneration and renewal of the Holy Spirit, 6whom he poured out on us richly through Jesus Christ our Savior, 7so that being justified by his grace we might become heirs according to the hope of eternal life.
