Faith Works: Taking a Test
08/31/08
Dr. Phil Wilkes, James 1:1-8
It doesn’t make sense to tell someone to rejoice when you face trials of various kinds. Yet that is exactly what James suggests to Christians in this passage. He goes on to explain how God can be at work in your life in the midst of the trials and storms. He says that the testing of your faith will develop perseverance in your life. Your faith is so important to God that He may allow some trials to come into your life in order to use those things to build and strengthen your faith. In the midst of the trials James reminds us that we have a loving Father who wants to help us. He tells us to ask God for wisdom and be willing to follow through on what God reveals to you. In the trials you face God is with you and He can in the midst of the difficulty do a good work in you.

Faith Works: A Healthy Faith
08/24/08
Dr. Phil Wilkes, James 2:14-26
James is a book written to Jewish Christians to help them understand the necessity of living out their faith in Christ. This message takes a look at the importance of practicing one’s faith each day. James wants his readers to understand that simply having right doctrine, participating in religious services and even being baptized is not enough if a person is not living out the faith they profess. In fact, James will tell us that faith without works is a dead faith. Good works are the result of faith in Jesus Christ. They are the result of allowing Christ to work in your life. Works do not earn salvation but they are the evidence of one’s faith in Christ. Over the next several weeks we will take a look at how one lives out their faith in the Lord Jesus Christ.

In Psalm 23:5-6 we are again reminded we have a shepherd who prepares the way for us as we journey through life.
