Prove It

Today's message was a pretty light treatment of James 2:14-26. There's a lot to delve into in this passage, but the basic gist is that real faith produces real works. A faith that has no outward display of an inward change isn't worth much. In fact, James calls it useless. That's pretty stiff, but important nonetheless. Our faith should stand up to being challenged, and we should be able to take a good hard look at ourselves (or have some other Christian that we trust do it) and see at least some evidence of God working in our lives, and an outflowing of that into what we think, say, and do. Just saying "I have faith" isn't enough. The important thing to determine is "Is there proof?"

Sermon, August 16

Also, we had a great afternoon out at lake Pueblo, and the baptism service went wonderfully. God provided a perfect day for us, and there were maybe 80-90 people present to share in the testimony of the four who were baptized today.Thanks to everyone who was there, and perhaps I can even try to get some pictures posted up on here for others to see!
