  • Exercising A Dynamic Faith Series

    based on 1 rating
     | 6,188 views

    We have observed dead faith and demonic faith, both of which are useless to us. This lesson focuses in on dynamic faith which is essential. The lesson holds up Abraham and Rahab, two people at opposite ends of the spectrum as examples of proper faith.

(Jas. 2:14,17,20,26). A worthless religion and a worthless faith make a worthless Christian and a ...read more

    The question is this; what kind of faith do I have? James offers of 4 possibilities - 3 of which are no good.

    based on 4 ratings
     | 6,635 views

    Faith is so much more than a passive agreement to a set of doctrines. Saving faith transforms the one who believes. Without this transformation, how will anyone know whether we are saved, or merely pretending to be a follower of Christ?

Was not Abraham our father justified by works when he offered up his son Isaac on the altar? You see that faith was active along with his works, and faith was completed by his works; ...read more
