SCRIPTURE: James 2:14-26

SHOW NOTES: As believers in Jesus Christ, our everyday actions should “match” our words of faith. The way we live out our faith each day really matters! James tells us that faith and works go “hand in hand.” Genuine faith will be lived out through deeds, and he points to charitable works or generosity. Do we visit the widow and orphans? Do we neglect the poor and show partiality to the rich? We may believe that God loves the poor but if our actions do not demonstrate our care and concern for their daily needs then our faith is not alive. In fact, our faith is dead. It is inactive, it is dormant. James writes, “You have faith and I have works. Show me your faith apart from your works, and I will show you my faith by my works.”
