James 2:14-26
Faith in Action

You don’t have to be around most churches too long until you hear the word “faith.” And though we use this word often, what does it mean to have faith? Or to be more specific, what does it mean to have saving faith? Many times when we speak of having faith, we are referring to knowing certain facts about Jesus – who he is and what he has done for us. We reduce faith down to just knowledge, and if we can answer correctly then we have real faith. But in our passage we’ll be looking at this Sunday, James 2:14-26, James gives us a different answer. While James doesn’t deny that we need to accurately know who Jesus is and what he has done for us – his life, death and resurrection – real faith is more than just head knowledge. Jason
