Hello, this is Ashley Chase welcoming you to the Mark Driscoll podcast.

For more content from my dad, Pastor Mark, senior pastor here at the Trinity Church in Scottsdale, Arizona,

visit real faith.com, where you'll find study guides to go along with each sermon series as he

preaches verse by verse through books of the Bible, daily devotions, free

e-books and more. Now grab your Bibles and get ready for today's sermon.

Well howdy we, so excited to be in James Chapter 2 with you. If you've got a Bible, go to James Chapter 2

as we continue our study in this great book of the Bible,

written by the New Testament's blue-collar scholar,

Jesus, little brother, dude named James.

And his big idea is, how do you take your faith

and put it to work in the issues of your life?

And today, the big question is,

how does faith work when you are feeling lazy?

As you're finding your place in your Bible,

just tell you this week is a little bit different.

I'm pre-recording to an empty room,

so if I tell a joke and no one laughs, it's not because I'm pre-recording to an empty room so if I tell a joke and no one lasts

it's not because I'm not funny it's because there's no one here. What's going to happen

however is I'm going to be out this week it's my 51st birthday the kids have got

fall break so I'm going to get a little

family time and we'll do video this week but I'll be back next week all three

services live at Trinity Church and as always live online at real faith.
