Did you know it’s possible to have a kind of faith that is not saving faith? The Bible says that even the demons believe and tremble before God, and yet they don’t have saving faith. According to James 2:14–19, faith that doesn’t produce works is “dead.” True, saving faith rests in Christ for salvation, but it inevitably produces the fruit of good works, including helping those in need.

0:52.1 | James chapter 2, my original plan was to preach through chapter 2 verse 14 through 26 all in one week. |
1:06.0 | And plans have changed, as I have gotten into this text, |
1:11.5 | there is absolutely no way we could get through this whole passage in one week. |
