    There are two kinds of dead faith and only one kind of living faith. And God is the Judge of which kind we have.

    A sermon about having "Jesus shaped faith."

    “Actions Speak Louder than Anything” James 2:1-18 Comedian Louis C.K. once said, “I have a lot of beliefs…And I live by none of them. That’s just the way I am. They’re just my beliefs. I just like believing them—I like that part. They’re my ...read more

    Faithing - Faith Without Works Is Dead

    In the Christian life faith and works go together like inhaling and exhaling. Billy Graham stated it in these terms: Faith is taking the Gospel in; works is taking the Gospel out.

    For those not familiar with an Anglican Service; there are four Scripture Readings before the Sermon. The Scripture Readings for this day were: Proverbs 22:1-2, 8-9, 22-23 ; Psalm 125 ; James 2:1-17 and Mark 7:24-37. Alexander Graham Bell was an amazingly talented person. He invented the ...read more

    Effort Demanded

    Faith plus Works produces miracles. It is not that God cannot work in any other manner, but generally, this is the method He chooses. So have a keen ear and be quick to do what He bids you to do. A miracle is just ahead if you will believe and obey.

    Esfuerzo Requerido (Effort Demanded) James (Stg.) 2:14-18 14 ¶ What doth it profit, my brethren, though a man say he hath faith, and have not works? can faith save him?

    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

    Avoiding Dead Faith Series

    Contributed by Perry Greene on May 3, 2012
     | 6,106 views

    James continues to remind us that faith is active. It is not mere mental assent but obediently imitating God by loving our neighbors.

    1. Secret Service A man was coming out of church one day, and the preacher was standing at the door as he always is to shake hands. (You know. The preacher’s job is to: shake them in, shake them up, and shake them out!) Well, he grabbed the guy by the hand and pulled him aside. The preacher ...read more

    James continues the warning against having a lifeless, dead faith by reminding us that even the Adversary and his legion believe in God but do not obey him in proper actions.

    1. Johnny Carson Exorcist Joke When the movie, “The Exorcist” came out, Johnny Carson was the host of the Tonight Show. My very favorite joke he told was about the movie. He asked Ed McMahon, “What happens if you don’t pay your exorcist?” Ed repeated the question and ...read more

     | 6,203 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.

    1. Some apparent dilemmas: • “Look before you leap” vs. “He who hesitates is lost.” • Proverbs 26.4-5: 4 Answer not a fool according to his folly, lest you be like him yourself. 5 Answer a fool according to his folly, lest he be wise in his own ...read more

    James And Paul On Works And Faith

     | 11,079 views

    James 2 and Romans 4 have some interesting contrasts. Faith without works is dead or faith apart from works is what saves... which is true?

    Last week James told us that if we are careless with our language our religion is worthless. (Jas. 1:26) This week James tells us that if we believe without acting on it our faith is worthless. (Jas. 2:14,17,20,26). A worthless religion and a worthless faith make a worthless Christian and a ...read more

    Friends Of God

    There is a war raging between our self-indulgent nature and God. That war sets us at enmity with our brother, shuts the window of heaven and makes us Friends of the world .... and enemies of God. What can we do to avoid this and be friends of God?

    Friends of God James 2:23 James refers to Abraham as, "a friend of God." What a title, what an epitaph. Wouldn't you like to have that said of you? I would. How do we become a friend of God? We will learn that in today's sermon. But first we will look at James's discussion in 4:1-10 He begins ...read more

    What does it take to be God’s friend? What was it that Abraham and God had that made theirs such a unique friendship?

    THE FRIEND OF GOD “And the scripture was fulfilled which saith, Abraham believed God, and it was imputed unto him for righteousness: and he was called the Friend of God” (James 2:23).

    Test 3: Works Test Series

    Contributed by Jim Drake on Oct 23, 2007
    based on 54 ratings
     | 7,851 views

    We don’t work for our faith—true Christians work as a result of our faith. The right kind of works are always a sure test to prove the genuineness of faith. James continues with the third test of faith—the works test.

    1. Works that show compassion for God’s creation (14-17) 2. Works that show trust in God’s Word (18-19) 3. Works that show hope in God’s promises (20-24) 4. Works that show service to God’s people (25-26) JAMES 2:26 Men, I want you to try this when you get home. Go into your wife’s favorite ...read more
