Sermon: Two Kinds Of Faith

James 2:14-26

When it comes to our faith, we all like to pretend. We assume the best. We give ourselves the benefit of the doubt. We can’t always see the true condition of our faith. We need to test ourselves in the mirror of God’s Word.

[Proposition] Because there are two kinds of faith, you must test yourself.

Let me say up front, this is not a sermon about being good in your own power. If any of us could do that then we wouldn’t need Jesus. This message is about looking for a changed heart that comes from real faith. It’s about how God’s love changes us and give us the freedom to really love other people.

So, the point is that you must test yourself. This sermon is divided into three questions.
1. What is the connection between faith & works?
2. What does pretend faith look like?
3. What does real faith look like?
