    Romans 4:1-8 and James 2:14-26 do not contradict each other.

    Listen to these two verses and think to yourself whether or not they contradict each other: "But to him that worketh not, but believeth on him that justifieth the ungodly, his faith is counted for righteousness" (Romans 4:5). "Even so faith, if it hath not works, is dead, being alone" (James ...read more

    This sermon is for people who believe the Bible controdicts itself.

    Faith that Saves Are you saved by faith alone; or by faith plus the works that you do. It has been said that the Bible is a book full of contradictions, and that the writers teach one thing in one book or verse, and another thing in another book or verse. Take for instance the Teaching of the ...read more

    James talks about three kinds of faith.

    A challenge to live the Real Thing! Not this fake, go to church, get excited after youth camp sort of faith.

    We all know the story of Abraham and Isaac, how God told him to the mountain and sacrifice his son.

    God's Call Series

    Contributed by Eddie Snipes on Jan 13, 2001
    based on 69 ratings
     | 9,255 views

    This begins with the historical evidence from the ancient kingdom of Ebla that validates the life of Abraham and then I will look at God’s call. How He used Abram’s humanity, weakness and faith to open the door of God’s purpose.

    God’s Call Genesis 11 ends with the genealogy leading up to Abram (later Abraham). Terah took his son Abram and his wife Saria, and grandson Lot and headed toward Canaan. They did not get to Canaan, but dwelled in the city of Haran (which is probably named after Abram’s brother who died after he ...read more

     | 5,158 views

    A challenge to anyone who professes to have faith in Christ.

    INTRODUCTION It’s not what we claim to be as Christians, but what we are seen to be that really matters. Anyone can claim to have faith in Christ, but if that claim to faith is not backed up or authenticated by the things we do, then, says James, it’s nothing more than dead faith: an empty ...read more

    based on 99 ratings
     | 11,059 views

    The smoking pot, flaming torch and God’s covenant with Himself that benefited Abraham is a reflection of our covenant of grace. This sermon looks at the promise that is not dependent upon us, but on God’s grace.

    The Covenant of Grace Genesis 15:1 After these things the word of the LORD came to Abram in a vision, saying, "Do not be afraid, Abram. I am your shield, your exceedingly great reward." 2 But Abram said, "Lord GOD, what will You give me, seeing I go childless, and the heir of my house is Eliezer ...read more
