Podcast appearances and mentions of james faith

The Book of James: Faith and WorksDid your parents ever tell you: do as I say, not as I do? It's definitely not the best message to send - because the fundamental premise is: belief and action don't have to go together. But, when it comes to faith in Jesus, belief must show up in our behavior. Join us as we learn, from the Book of James, how to do what we say we believe.

Faith Tested & Sustained | James 1:1-18 | James: Faith Alive Scott Armstrong | Lead Pastor

A plant grown without wind grows weak. James says your faith is no different — the friction of an ordinary week may be the very thing God is using to strengthen and mature both you and your faith.In week 2 of our look at James we walk through James 1:19-27: How do we move from merely agreeing with our faith to participating in it fully? We consider the work of faith and faith at work, as we grow up into Christ-likeness — not as performance, but for maturation.Questions for Reflection:How am I responding to faith? Am I quick to listen, slow to speak, slow to anger?Do I live true to myself in Christ, participating with him in the labors of my day — free to be self-giving and free from all that binds?What would tomorrow look like if I responded to faith, and lived true?Scripture References: James 1:19-27, James 1:4, James 5:7-8, Psalm 37:1-11, Romans 3:28, Philippians 2:13, Matthew 11:25-30, Matthew 13:1-23, Acts 2Voices/Quotes: Martin Luther (on the placement of James in the canon); Common Prayer: A Liturgy for Ordinary Radicals (communion liturgy)Sermon Notes & Liturgy | James: Faith at WorkTired of consumer Christianity?

James 2:14 +++ EMBRACEEVV.COM

Sheltered, undisturbed plants may grow fast and even tall, but the result is a weak, fragile, and easily uprooted plant. By contrast, plants exposed to rain, wind, and the occasional disturbance grow strong, stable, and sturdy. Your soul works the same way.In this opening sermon of our summer series through the letter of James, we walk through James 1:1–18 and the old wisdom he himself leans into: that the trials we face are not meant to destroy us, but to activate and strengthen what has been given to us. We consider why the testing of faith produces steadfastness, what it means to ask God for wisdom without a divided soul, why the life resourced by appearances withers like grass, and the crucial difference between a trial and a temptation — one external, one a heart unsubmitted. Faith does its work not in one dramatic moment but over many ordinary ones, completing us — maturing us toward our purposed end — because what God starts in history and in us, he finishes in history through us.Questions for Reflection:James contends that the disturbances of life help ensure our maturation and completion. Where in your daily relations and responsibilities might God be activating and purifying your faith right now?When something hard hits, is your first instinct to face it as a trial that strengthens, or to read it as God against you? What would it look like to "count it all joy"?Where are you living divided — "double-souled" — tossed between believing and not believing? What wisdom do you need to ask God for, without doubting?Scripture References: James 1:1–18; Psalm 63:1–8; Proverbs 24:16; Acts 2:36; 1 Thessalonians 4:11–12; Psalm 1:3Voices/Quotes: Douglas Moo Commentary on James; John Calvin Commentary on the Catholic Epistles; Keith McCurdy Raising Sturdy Kids; Jonathan Haidt The Anxious GenerationSermon Notes & Liturgy | James: Faith at WorkChrist City Church gathers every Sunday at 10:10 AM at 642 Brookhurst Dr., Dallas, TX 75218; in the chapel at LHB. Come rest in Jesus.

A few years ago, a stranger fell onto the train tracks in Minneapolis. Pastor Abbie remembers watching the moment unfold. Her friend looked away. She herself ran toward the train with her arms in the air, praying out loud. And then a few other people did the only thing that saved the life on the tracks. They jumped down.That story is the whole sermon in miniature.James is in chapter 2 today, and he is using language that does not leave room to nod and walk away. Faith without deeds is dead. Period. He is mirroring Jesus' sermon on the mount. Hearing is not enough. Agreement is not enough. Even sound doctrine is not enough. Faith has to move.The first thing James names is that ideas alone do not bring life. We can have a thousand good thoughts about loving our neighbor and still leave our neighbor hungry. The kingdom does not come through the right opinions. It comes through participation.And then James pivots, and Pastor Abbie pivots with him, to two people who could not be more different. Abraham, the father of the faith. Rahab, the prostitute. James names them both. Both acted. Both risked. Both ended up in the lineage of Jesus. The point is not their resume. The point is that they moved.On Mother's Day, that picture sharpens. Moms know what embodied faith looks like. If you are pregnant, you do not get to only think about giving birth. You labor. You stretch. You feel every minute of it. And new life comes through that labor.Mary said yes to that. The angel showed up, and she said, let it be to your will. She knew it would cost her. The scandal, the endurance, the body changing forever. She said yes anyway. Faith is not passive. It participates.Pastor Abbie's so-what is the line James writes plainly: it is by acts that people live, not ideas. Faith was never meant to sit in your head, leading to good thoughts and well wishes and the occasional prayer for someone. The life we long for is embodied. Which sometimes means choosing the burden. Which sometimes means being inconvenienced. Which sometimes means looking toward the suffering instead of away.The invitation today is this. Stop turning away from what is hard. Pray, then get down. Choose kingdom over comfort. Let one yes cost you something this week. And remember that the thing in your story you think disqualifies you is often the bridge God wants to use.Scripture References:James 2:14-26 (Faith without deeds is dead; Abraham and Rahab as examples of embodied faith)Matthew 5 (Sermon on the Mount; the call to do, not only hear)Luke 4:18-19 (The Spirit of the Lord is upon me; Jesus quoting Isaiah)Joshua 2 (Rahab hides the spies; risks her life for God's redemptive work)Matthew 16:25 (Whoever wants to save their life will lose it)Matthew 25:40 (Whatever you did for the least of these, you did unto me)Luke 1:38 (Mary's response: "Let it be to me according to your word")

The Letter of James leads us to explore the roots of what faith looks like as we follow Jesus. Is faith grounded in belief or works? Does our faith endure when we face trials? How should faith work itself out as we engage people in our lives? James leads us on a journey to explore faith from every angle.  This week, we encounter James 2:14-26 ESV, which explores the deep connection between faith and works. Speaker: Michael Bayne Text: James 2:14-26 ESV

“Lessons From the Book of James: Faith vs. Works” James 2:14-20; 26 Rev. John Allen looks at the age old question of what's more important between faith and works. Recorded live at Stonebridge United Methodist Church in McKinney, Texas. For more information, please visit www.mysumc.org.

Brother Nick continues in the book of James looking at how we know our faith is true faith.

Protestant Christians around the world believe that we receive salvation by grace alone through faith, as the apostle Paul taught. And yet, we also come across the words of James: “Faith without works is dead.” This seeming contradiction has led believers of every generation to wonder, “Do the things we do impact how God sees us? Do our works contribute to our righteousness?” Together, let's examine the book of James as a whole to understand his teachings on grace and works in context. We'll compare what we learn from James to what Paul teaches about the relationship between God's grace and our works, and then consider what it means for our daily lives.
