Proven Through Love & Works

NOTE: Due to a technical glitch, we lost the audio feed for the first seven minutes of this broadcast. We apologize for the inconvenience. There is still plenty to learn from Pastor Chris in the remainder of his message!

This sermon from the book of James explores how authentic Christian faith must be evidenced through both love and action. The pastor challenges the congregation to examine whether their faith is merely professed or actually proven through their treatment of others and their works. Drawing from James chapter 2, the message confronts the uncomfortable reality of favoritism, highlighting how Christians often show preferential treatment based on worldly standards like wealth, status, and appearance rather than loving impartially as Jesus did. The sermon emphasizes that while salvation comes by grace alone through faith alone, genuine saving faith is never alone—it always produces visible fruit through mercy, love, and action. The pastor calls believers to move beyond empty religious profession toward living faith that actively serves, forgives, gives, and loves others, especially the marginalized and inconvenient people in their lives.
