Send us a textGod has given every single one of us things to steward & diligently tend to that He desires for us to bear fruit in and multiply for the kingdom. And the realty is that we will ALL have to stand before Christ one day in regards to our stewardship. There, He will test the work we did with the time He gave us. The question is, will our work be worthless and burned up? Or will it have been of value and therefore stand the test of fire? That's for us to take a sobering look at today. VersesRomans 14:102 Corinthians 5:101 Corinthians 3:13-15Matthew 12:36James 2:12Romans 14:12Luke 19:11-26Matthew 25:14-30Luke 16:10Luke 12:48Ephesians 5:15-171 Corinthians 9:24-25WorshipTake You At Your WordThat's Who I PraiseEncouragement

Jim Osman teaches that applying all diligence is essential for Christian growth. Believers must cultivate virtues such as moral excellence, knowledge, self-control, and love. By using all diligence, Christians respond to God's grace earnestly, avoiding legalism and complacency. Osman underscores that this pursuit is not about earning salvation but working it out through sanctification, grounded in faith and empowered by God's provision. ★ Support this podcast ★

Pride Month is evil, and we must call it what it is. In this episode, we're discussing the spiritual implications of Pride Month, asking hard questions about what it represents—and how believers should respond. We're drawing the connection between pride, identity, and rebellion against God's design for human flourishing.Many Christians feel spiritually drained during this month, and we should. I'm challenging my listeners to love the LGBTQ+ community not with silence or compromise (and certainly not with support) but with truth—the truth that God offers forgiveness, transformation, and eternal life to all who repent and follow Christ.We must hate sin while praying for our enemies. Our culture desperately needs more holiness, conviction, and compassion rooted in the gospel, which is telling those around us the truth.—https://www.thebrandsunday.com/products/the-bible-study-physical?srsltid=AfmBOoqBR_MWE2-fkYXYHCn80nZtEct4ixmRGrXZSrgIn5HP_tBc9Mcy

Jim Franks discusses Ephesians 2:8-10, American Standard Version—“For by grace have ye been saved through faith; and that not of yourselves, it is the gift of God; not of works, that no man should glory. For we are his workmanship, created in Christ Jesus for good works, which God afore prepared that we should walk in them.”

Today is the section that Martin Luther did not like at all. James today tells us that faith alone does not save us but that we are saved by our works. It was his works that saved Abraham, not faith alone. Doesn't this contradict Paul?  Didn't Paul say the exact opposite thing in Galatians?  What does this mean?  We'll take a few minutes to explain how Paul and James speak from the same hymnal. The key is to understand what Paul means by works and what James means by works.  James is clear, though: faith without works is dead.

316- faith and works by Genesis the Church

Rev. Efird's sermon on Luke 10:38-42

The letter of James is often called the New Testament's wisdom literature, offering practical guidance for living as followers of Jesus. Drawing creatively on Jesus' teachings, James addresses important topics like enduring trials, controlling our speech, caring for the vulnerable, resisting favoritism, and putting faith into action through good works. This letter is filled with memorable, succinct wisdom meant to inspire reflection and guide believers in following Jesus in every area of life. As we journey through James together, our prayer is that the Holy Spirit will deepen our faith and empower us to live faithfully as disciples of Jesus in our everyday lives.This week, Pastor John Crawford teaches out of James 2:14-26.WEBSITETo learn more about Redemption Tempe, find ways to get involved,  or opportunities to serve, visit our website: https://tempe.redemptionaz.com.OUR APPDownload our app https://pushpay.com/get?handle=redemp...OR text "tempe app" to 77977STAY CONNECTEDFacebook:    / redemptiontempe.  .Twitter:    / redemptiontem  Instagram:    / redemptiontempe..  .GIVINGEverything we have is a gift from the Lord because He owns it all.

Sermon Title: faith & works Preacher: Jefferson Furtado Scripture: Luke 10:38-42 Sermon Description: In many translations, Jesus says that “Mary has chosen the better part,” which has been used to create a divide between Mary and Martha. However, in the Greek, Mary has chosen the “good portion,” and Martha's tasks are called “ministry.” Therefore, perhaps Mary represents our faith, our desire to know God intimately, and Martha represents our good works, our desire to transform the world. Both are needed, and both are good.

Are you a Mary or a Martha? That's the traditional question when it comes to Luke's story this week about the sisters and Jesus. But maybe that's not the right question to ask. This little story, only five verses, might be more about being in the moment than valuing some gift over others, or launching a faith versus works battle. It's far more nuanced, more compassionate, more relatable than all that. So, join us as we join Martha, Mary, and Jesus for dinner and some conversation.

Matthew Bates joins us today to work out salvation. What is it? What have we got wrong? In our contemporary moment, we find ourselves wrestling with a profound misunderstanding of the gospel - a narrative that has been truncated, individualized, and stripped of its royal, communal essence. The gospel is not merely a personal transaction about individual salvation, but a comprehensive royal announcement about Jesus the Christ. For too long, both Protestant and Catholic traditions have inadvertently narrowed the expansive biblical vision of salvation. We've reduced faith to mental assent or ritualistic practice, when in reality, faith is fundamentally about allegiance - a comprehensive, embodied loyalty to King Jesus that transforms not just individuals, but entire communities and, ultimately, all of creation. Matthew seeks to recover a more holistic understanding. We are saved not just from something, but for something: the full restoration of our image-bearing capacity, the renewal of God's glory in and through us. This isn't about personal spiritual escapism, but about participating in a cosmic restoration project. In our conversation today, we'll explore how reimagining salvation as allegiance can bridge denominational divides, challenge our narcissistic cultural assumptions, and invite us into a more profound understanding of discipleship. We're not just talking about theological abstractions, but about a transformative way of being in the world. Prepare to have your understanding of the gospel radically expanded. Matthew W. Bates is Professor of New Testament at Northern Seminary. His books have won top honors from Christianity Today, Outreach Magazine, Jesus Creed, and Englewood Review. When he isn't hiking, baseballing, or chasing his seven children, he co-hosts the OnScript podcast. A Protestant by conviction, Bates holds a PhD in theology (New Testament) from the University of Notre Dame.

What do Abraham, a patriarch, and Rahab, a prostitute, have in common? At first glance, it seems nothing—one is a giant of the faith, the other a woman with a checkered past. Yet James places them side by side, using them as examples of how men and women of living faith should aspire to live. Welcome to the Daily Devo. Our text today is James 2:21-26. Was not Abraham our father justified by works when he offered up his son Isaac on the altar? You see that faith was active along with his works, and faith was completed by his works; and the Scripture was fulfilled that says, “Abraham believed God, and it was counted to him as righteousness”—and he was called a friend of God. You see that a person is justified by works and not by faith alone. And in the same way was not also Rahab the prostitute justified by works when she received the messengers and sent them out by another way? For as the body apart from the spirit is dead, so also faith apart from works is dead. — James 2:21-26 Abraham's faith is legendary in the Bible. It led him to the ultimate act of trust—total obedience to God and the willingness to offer up his son Isaac on the altar. Even though God did not let him carry out the final act, Abraham's willingness to follow God's command revealed a faith so deep and complete that he became known as the Father of Faith. This wasn't just about belief; it was about belief that acted. His legacy of faith became the foundation for generations to come, marking him as a friend of God and a model for all who follow. Rahab's story, though seemingly different, echoes the same truth. As a Gentile woman with a sinful past, Rahab had no reputation to lean on—only a choice to make. Her faith moved her to risk her life by hiding Israelite spies and helping them escape. This single act of courageous trust in God not only saved her family but also grafted her into the lineage of Jesus Christ. Her legacy? Proof that faith can transform even the most unlikely life into a story of redemption. What binds these two together is a faith that moves—faith that acts, responds, and lets God write the story. Abraham's faith shaped nations. Rahab's faith redeemed her family and secured her place in history. Faith that moves writes stories that endure. So, what story does God want to write with your life and faith? The only way to find out is to live out your faith through action. Remember, Jesus didn't just speak of love—He demonstrated it through the ultimate act of obedience and sacrifice. Leaving the glory of heaven, He took on human form and laid down His life on the cross for our sins. His unwavering faith in the Father's plan was lived out in perfect action, securing redemption for all who believe. Jesus went all in for us—now it's our turn to live all in for Him. #FaithInAction, #LivingFaith, #TrustAndObey ASK THIS: How does your faith inspire you to take action in your daily life? What sacrifices might God be calling you to make in obedience? How can you trust God more boldly, as Abraham and Rahab did? What practical steps can you take today to align your actions with your faith?

Fr. Mike explains sins of omission, and how these are some of the biggest deciding factors of who goes to heaven and who goes to hell: whether or not we did good works God called us to. He also reminds us that not all of the New Testament parables are universally relevant, recalling the parable of the talents and the parable of the wise and foolish maidens.
