2026-07-12 - The Miracles of Living Faith - Heather Craig by Living Faith Church

What does it mean to have a living faith?In the Bible, Paul and James began at different places in the Christian life. Paul begins at the beginning, when a person is considering to become a Christian and enters into a relationship with Christ. Paul says, it happens by putting your faith in Him. It's by grace through faith.And in James chapter two, after you've entered that relationship by grace through faith, such a man James says, must live a new life. For he is a new creature. He's first justified by grace through faith, and now is beginning the sanctification process of growth.​I've concluded that in order to truly become a Christian, we have to have that living faith that James talks of. James 2:14-17 tells us, "What use is it, my brothers and sisters, if someone says he has faith, but he has no works? Can that faith save him? If a brother or sister is without clothing and in need of daily food, and one of you says to them, “Go in peace, be warmed and be filled,” yet you do not give them what is necessary for their body, what use is that? In the same way, faith also, if it has no works, is dead, being by itself.

The start of a series in James looking into how we can persevere through life's trials.

What makes a practice sacred — and why does it matter? In this first week of our new series Sacred: Ancient Practices for a Living Faith, we explore how the early church began with a bold, public act: baptism. From the explosive birth of the church in Acts 2 to the 3,000 who responded to Peter's message that very day, we unpack what baptism truly means — not as a ritual that saves us, but as an outward declaration of an inward transformation. If you've placed your faith in Jesus but have never been baptized, today might just be the day you take your next step.

What's the point of saying you care if you never actually help anyone? This message looks at the difference between just talking about love and actually living it out in real life. Through simple stories and examples, it challenges you to ask if your actions really match what you say you believe—and shows practical ways you can start showing real love to people around you this week.

In this sermon from James 2:14-26, James reminds us that genuine faith is more than words, knowledge, or a profession of belief—it is a living faith that produces action. While salvation comes by grace through faith alone, true saving faith never remains alone; it reveals itself through obedience, compassion, and good works. Abraham demonstrated his faith through obedience to God, and Rahab demonstrated her faith through courageous compassion toward God's people. Their actions did not earn their salvation but proved the reality of their trust in God. In the same way, our faith should be visible in how we love, serve, and care for others. As James concludes, "faith apart from works is dead." A living faith trusts God, obeys His Word, and bears fruit that reflects a transformed life in Christ.

When Jesus rebuked the disciples for having “little faith” in Matthew 8, He was not speaking of saving faith—He was addressing the practical, daily faith needed to trust Him in the middle of a storm. In today's episode of the MY Devotional Podcast, Dr. Michael Youssef reminds believers that when intimacy with God weakens, fear and panic can quickly take over. Fear-conquering faith requires absolute trust in God's sovereignty. It is the kind of faith that depends on Him completely, receives what He provides with an open heart, and believes He is working out His purposes even when the storm is raging. Romans 8:28 assures us that God works all things for the good of those who love Him and are called according to His purpose. Dr. Youssef challenges a common contradiction in the Christian life: we trust God with our eternal souls, yet often hesitate to trust Him with our daily needs. God wants our professed faith to become lived faith—faith that trusts Him with relationships, resources, decisions, fears, and the future. When you walk closely with God and seek Him in prayer at the first sign of fear, your focus shifts from the storm to the Savior. And as your focus remains on Him, fear begins to fade into the background. Prayer: God, I trust You with my salvation, but sometimes I struggle with trusting You with the details of my life. Strengthen my daily living faith so that my trust in You is greater than my fears. I pray in the name of Jesus. Amen. “If that is how God clothes the grass of the field, which is here today and tomorrow is thrown into the fire, will he not much more clothe you—you of little faith?” (Matthew 6:30).

If today's devotional stirred a question, burden, or need for prayer, you don't have to walk through it alone.

In this episode, we dive into James 1:5–8 and discover what it really means to ask God for wisdom “in faith, with no doubting.” James isn't condemning honest questions—he's warning against divided loyalty. Learn how wisdom, faith, and steadfastness work together to mature us in Messiah.Show Notes: James says YHWH gives wisdom generously, but only to those who ask in faith. In this teaching we unpack what James means by “doubt,” why double-mindedness makes us unstable, and how steadfast devotion shapes maturity. We also consider how to deal with real intellectual doubts in a healthy, biblical way.Scripture Highlights: James 1:5–8 James 3:17–18 James 4:2–4, 8 Psalm 77:8–15 Jude 22 Takeaway: Asking in faith is about loyalty to YHWH, not absolute certainty. True wisdom produces purity, peace, and steadfastness.

While our works do not save us, a living faith will always be displayed through our love and service to others. We miss something, something important, when our faith is only in our heads and hearts. An active faith is not only evidence of salvation, but is also part of what makes Christian life so gratifying. This week, Mandi Schneider will share how serving others has lifted her faith.

Do you have faith that believes that God can do what He says He can do? Emma and Rosemary chat about having this kind of faith and aligning our hearts to God.

Most of us have heard plenty of sermons, but James, the brother of Jesus, asks a question that cuts right through all of that. Are you actually living what you believe? In this first message of Summer at Vima, we dig into the book of James and discover that faith was never meant to stay in your head. It was always meant to show up in your life.

Do you ever do a temperature check on your faith? In this week’s Heartbeat Rosemary encourages us to anchor ourselves in God and to continue to trust that God hears our prayers.

“Put away doubting and do not hesitate to ask of the Lord. Do not say to yourself: ‘How can I ask of the Lord and receive from him, seeing that I have sinned so much against him?' Do not reason with yourself like this, but turn to the Lord with all your heart and ask of him without doubting, and you will know the multitude of his tender mercies, that he will never leave you but fulfi ll the request of your soul.”— Shepherd of Hermas, 2nd century James: Portrait of a Living Faith (James 1:1-11) Rev. Nathan Barczi James 1:1-11

Rev. Kenneth W. Hagin | May 6, 2026 — Does the devil know your name? Acts 19 shows the difference between people who talk about authority and people who actually carry it. In Christ, you don't have to be afraid or intimidated of dark spirits. When you know the authority you've been given, you can stand your ground — and he has to flee.

What if understanding the 2nd Coming of Christ completely changed how you live today? In this powerful episode of The Impossible Life Podcast, Nick Surface and Garrett Unclebach sit down with bestselling author John Bevere to discuss one of the most important, and often misunderstood, topics in the Christian faith: the return of Christ and its connection to purpose.John Bevere shares why he avoided teaching on the 2nd Coming of Christ for over 40 years and how studying it transformed his faith, his urgency, and his purpose. Instead of creating confusion or debate, he discovered that correctly understanding Christ's return produces passion, clarity, and a renewed commitment to living for eternity.This conversation challenges Christian men to rethink how they approach faith and purpose. When you understand that Jesus is coming back, today suddenly matters more. Your leadership matters. Your obedience matters. Your influence matters.John explains that the 2nd Coming of Christ is the second most talked-about subject in the Bible, yet many Christians rarely think about it. But when believers begin to live with eternity in mind, it creates urgency like a runner sprinting toward the finish line.In this episode, you'll learn:Why the 2nd Coming of Christ should shape your daily lifeHow faith and purpose become clearer when viewed through eternityWhy Christian men need urgency in leadership and discipleshipThe difference between arguing about end times and living with purposeHow understanding Christ's return increases passion for winning soulsWhy today matters when you understand eternityJohn Bevere also discusses how focusing on Christ's return changed his own life by increasing his compassion, strengthening his faith, and deepening his purpose to help others grow spiritually and prepare for eternity.This episode is a powerful call for Christian men to live with faith, purpose, and urgency not because of fear, but because of hope. Because when you understand the King is coming,you stop living casually and start living with purpose.Get John's New Book The King Is Coming by clicking hereGet With NuWave Home Lenders By Clicking HereJoin a group of likeminded Impossible Life listeners in our FREE Skool community by clicking here.Get the Purpose Playbook by clicking hereGet the FREE Basic Discipline Training 30 Day Program by clicking hereJoin us in Mindset Mastery by clicking hereIf you're a man that wants real accountability and training to be a leader, click here.Level up your nutrition with IDLife by clicking hereGET IN TOUCHSocial Media - @theimpossiblelifeEmail - info@theimpossible.life

Speaker: Pastor Bruce BurkettText: James 2:14-26Title: Living Faith

What if faith was never meant to stay private, but to be lived out in a way that costs us something? In this message, Pastor Mike Adkins shares how real, living faith goes beyond words. It is demonstrated through action, sacrifice, and obedience. He contrasts dead faith, which is only spoken, with living faith that is proven by what it produces and the risks it's willing to take. If you've been challenged to move beyond belief into action, this message will call you to live out a bold, visible faith that truly reflects your trust in God.

DO YOU WANT TO BE THE FIRST TO KNOW WHEN THE NON TOXIC EBOOK IS OUT? FILL THIS OUT! We are living in a world that is increasingly artificial. From processed foods and toxic products to social media filters and constant digital stimulation, many women are feeling overwhelmed, anxious, disconnected, and exhausted. If you've ever felt like everything looks "fine" on the outside but something feels off on the inside, you're not alone. In this episode of The Well Podcast, Kari Davis explores what it means to return to what is real in a culture that often promotes fast, filtered, and overstimulated living. This conversation dives into the connection between modern lifestyle habits, hormone health, nervous system regulation, and spiritual alignment, and why so many women are craving simplicity, authenticity, and peace. Kari shares how artificial living can impact your: • physical health (inflammation, fatigue, hormone imbalance) • mental health (anxiety, overwhelm, burnout) • emotional wellbeing (disconnection, comparison, dissatisfaction) • spiritual life (surface-level faith vs. real connection with God) You'll also learn practical ways to begin detoxing your life and returning to more natural, grounded rhythms through: • whole, real food choices • reducing toxic exposure in your home • simplifying your daily routines • supporting your nervous system • reconnecting with faith in an authentic way This episode also introduces Kari's upcoming Hormone Balance Masterclass, where she will teach deeper strategies for supporting your body naturally through nutrition, movement, stress reduction, and essential oil support. If you're tired of feeling overstimulated, overwhelmed, and out of alignment, this episode will help you begin the process of coming back to what is real.

This rereleased 2022 episode of Abide revisits Moses 7—a chapter that expands the brief biblical mention of Enoch into a rich, prophetic narrative. In the Pearl of Great Price, Enoch's visionary experiences with God profoundly influence Latter-day Saint understandings of the Father's compassion, character, and relationship to humanity. This conversation explores how Moses 7 shapes key themes within Latter-day Saint thought. At the time of the original recording, the discussion was hosted by Joseph Stuart, then the public communications specialist at the Maxwell Institute, alongside Research Fellow Kristian Heal. Together, they examined each week's Come, Follow Me scripture block—not to offer a full lesson, but to highlight meaningful ideas that support the Maxwell Institute's mission to “inspire and fortify Latter-day Saints in their testimonies of the restored gospel of Jesus Christ and engage the world of religious ideas.” The episode features special guest Terryl Givens, coauthor with Fiona Givens of The God Who Weeps and, more recently, The Doors of Faith in the Maxwell Institute's Living Faith series with Deseret Book.
