Faith and works. Are they important? Can you have one without the other? In James 2:14, we read, “What good is it brothers if someone says he has faith, but does not have works, can that faith save him?” In today’s message, Pastor Tom reminds you of the importance of both faith and works. Works without faith is dead. But faith without works is also dead. True faith is an active and living thing. True faith lives as Christ lived: loving and giving and teaching.
