false hope
The main activity that takes place in most church ministries is teaching, and so the impression can be given that faith is mostly about getting the right answers. This message looks at the difference between dead and living faith and how you can learn to live out your faith.
James 2: 14-26
The good news message about Jesus stresses faith so much that people can think that God sends people to heaven as long as they’re not atheists. As a result, you have mobsters who pray before they commit murder and people whose lives seem to completely contradict what they say they believe. This message looks at how James clarifies saving faith in contrast to dead faith and the faith of demons. In the process, we learn how to evaluate our own faith and find assurance that we don’t cling to a false hope.
Medicine can be a poison if you tamper with the recipe. And unfortunately, many have sought to tamper with Jesus’ recipe for life and blessing. This message looks at the good news that Jesus came to bring and the counterfeits that religion has often posed.
