Fall Series: “Faith That Works—The Book of James”

Perhaps the most famous quotation from James is that, “Faith without works is dead.” Some have seen this as a contradiction to the message we take from John and Paul that salvation is a gift given from God through faith alone. But does the book really present a contradiction? (Spoilers: No, it doesn’t. But we can discuss this as we go along.)

The Book of James provides practical advice on how to live as a Christian in a non-Christian world. How can believers have patience during trials and temptations? How can they avoid hypocrisy? How can they love everyone equally? Pastor Chuck Swindoll has said, “More than any other book in the New Testament, James places the spotlight on the necessity for believers to act in accordance with our faith.”
