    This is number four in a summer sermon series on the Book of James

    As the associate pastor in Abilene I was privilege to preach at several of the smaller congregations around there. After a while I learned not to be surprised at the various habits and rituals of the churches. One of the most unique surrounded the offering at Central Presbyterian in Stamford Texas. ...read more

    The Parable Of Someone Else Series

    This message examines our tendency to expect someone else to carry our load within the church.

    The church family was shocked this week to learn of the passing of one of our most faithful members. Your state of shock is obvious as you begin to look around to try and figure out who is not here. I was saddened when I learned that Someone Else has gone on to receive his reward. This death leaves ...read more

    An Endangered Species

    It is futile to have faith without deeds. In simple language, it is hypocrisy and such a faith can never save anybody. One’s faith is dead if it is not accompanied by action.

    An Endangered Species What good is it, my brothers, if a man claims to have faith but has no deeds? Can such faith save him? Suppose a brother or sister is without clothes and daily food. If one of you says to him, “Go, I wish you well; keep warm and well fed,” but does nothing about his physical ...read more

    Faith is a action word. Showing your faith by your good deeds is an expression of what God is doing in your life.

    Faith Without Works Is Both Unprofitable And Dead! Series

     | 17,600 views

    James teaches that faith without works is dead and he uses for examples: helping the needy, the devils who believe but don't obey, Abraham and Rahab.

    INTRODUCTION 1. Open your bibles to James 2:14-26. This passage has much to say about the importance of both faith and works. 2. Years ago, there was an old gentleman whose job was to row people across a river at a spot where there was no other way to cross. (1) This elderly man was very ...read more

    Faith Must Be Proven By Works & Not Just Words! Series

    based on 4 ratings
     | 8,556 views

    James teaches that biblical faith is not expressed in words only or just in one’s mind, but that it must be expressed in the actual doing and obeying what God and Christ command us to do.

    INTRODUCTION 1. Open your bibles to James 2:18-26. 2. In our last lesson we discussed two different kinds of faith, from James 2:14-17. We discussed a faith that is not profitable and a faith that is dead. As a contrast to those two faiths, we also discussed a “living faith”. 3. In the ...read more

    Faith Without Works Is Dead

    Salvation is only through faith and the redeeming work and grace of God. However, I do say that if our faith is not accompanied by works, then we can’t say that we have a genuine faith.

    I want to start today’s service with a joke. There was this very rich man who lived in the United States, who had heard of a man that lived in France that was very famous for walking the tightrope. According to what he had heard, the Frenchman had the reputation of walking the tightrope at ...read more

    A Funeral For A Dead Faith

    No corpse can work his way into life. He just can’t do it. He is dead. He has got to receive the life before he works.

    The Christian life is just summed up in Grace but the devil doesn’t want you to know that. The devil doesn’t want you to believe that. What the devil wants to do is to try to mix together grace and works. And when we try to mix together grace and works, then grace is not grace at all. ...read more

    What God is telling us about true faith versus claiming to have faith. 1- Faith demonstrates good 2- Faith believes in God 3- Faith produces righteousness

    INTRO.- ILL.- A guy was coming out of church one day, and the preacher was standing at the door as he always is to shake hands. (You know.

    Something is missing from the church today, and people are starting to notice. Too often the church fails to offer what it advertises: life.

    What is real faith? James talks about 3 types of faith. 2 are false and one is true.
