Sermons on James 2 3a24:

Actions Speak Louder Than Words

Contributed by Ian Hyde on Mar 29, 2020

Evangelical Christianity often struggles with the words of James 2 when he declares things like "faith without works is dead," and "Abraham was justified by works." This sermon reconciles his meaning to that of Paul and demonstrates genuine faith is always expressed in works.

All of these terms describe the same thing. Prayer was how Jesus stayed connected to God his Father when he walked the ...read more
