We're continuing in the book of James, and this week we land in chapter 2, verses 14–26. James has a way of asking the questions we'd rather avoid, and this passage is no exception. He looks at faith — real faith, saving faith — and asks: what does it actually look like?
He's not trying to shake your assurance. He's trying to protect it. And he does it by pointing us to two heroes whose stories couldn't be more different — one the father of faith, the other an outcast the world had written off. Together, they remind us that genuine faith is never just a label we carry. It's a life we live.
Whether you've been walking with Jesus for decades or you're still figuring out what you believe, I think Sunday is going to be an encouraging and honest morning together.
