Message: Faith That Works
Speaker: Rev. Michael Odom
Key Verse: James 2:14-26 (NLT)
These words written to show the heart of Christianity.
Faith without works is nothing compared to what faith is with good works (deeds).
Does our faith show in our daily actions and daily walk?
Words without action is empty.
Real faith helps comfort those around us, whether they are homeless, poor, needy, or even rich. Because everyone needs the comfort and love that real faith gives.
Believing about God is not the same as believing in God.
Surrendering is dangerous if you are not living for God.
You need to have the relationship with God that is life changing.
Faith is not proven that what you know, but by how you obey.
The demons believed in Jesus’ power because they knew it first hand, but did not follow Him.
Ask God to lead you to the person you need to witness to today.
Living faith is by loving obedience.
Rahab’s faith was shown through courage and kindness.
Faith and works are not enemies, but they work together.
If God calls us to do something and we do not do it, it’s a sin to God.
James closes with a powerful picture in James 2:26.
Faith can look religious, but without faith and love it’s dead.
Real faith reads and hears the word and does it. Real faith does not do things to be saved, but because we are saved.
Can people see the evidence of our faith by the way we live?
Have you separated yourself of the things that are of the world?
You cannot separate from the people because they need to hear Jesus. We cannot let the world change us and harden our hearts.
Challenge:
Does your faith move me to love people?
Do I serve others because of what Christ has done through me?
Is the your faith alive in God or in man?
We not saved by works, but through works.
Faith walks, actions follow.
If God it asking you to put your faith into action, just ask him to lead you where you need to go.
