Summary
You probably couldn’t find two people more different than the two examples chosen by James to show the difference between dead faith and dynamic faith. Abraham was the first patriarch and designated figurehead of the Jewish nation. Rahab was a prostitute who lived in Jericho during Israel’s assault of that city. But both demonstrate how true faith will produce action and change.
I. Question (v. 20)
II. Illustration (vv. 21-24)
III. Amplification (v. 25)
IV. Conclusion (v. 26)
Talk with God: Ask the Lord to show you ways to put your faith into action.
Talk with others: Brainstorm some practical ways to regularly serve your community with your family or Connect Group.
Talk with kids: How does sharing the gospel show we love God and people?
