Why We Believe a Saving Faith Is a Working Faith
James 2:26 Though it’s true that we’re saved by grace through faith alone (as we saw earlier in this series), we are not saved by a faith that is alone. True saving faith will always be accompanied by works. If it isn’t, it’s a dead faith that can’t save.

Spiritual Declension
James 5:19-20 This morning we examine the principle of spiritual declension and how we must fervently seek the Lord in order to avoid it. James has closed his letter with three final thoughts: oaths and vows, godly responses to God’s varying providences, and finally, s
