3rd Sunday after Epiphany Year B Sermon

G’day, today we look at James 2:1–26. And while James is not testing his readers brains with his circular points like in chapter 1. James is again helping them to see that faith in Jesus is a bigger and better extension to the faith they already have in God. As he writes in a way that helps remind the Jewish Christians of what God has said that is important to Him in their Scripture. And how Jesus has reinforced what God said! And so James gives Christians a couple of ideas about how they can show their faith is genuine. And a couple of faith examples from two people whose faith they hold in high esteem, to answer their misunderstanding that some can have faith, and others have works; by proving his statement; “show me your faith without works and I will show you faith from my works,’ is a true genuine faith!
