“Can That Faith Save You?” (James 2:14-26)

This sermon confronts one of the most sobering questions in Scripture: What kind of faith saves? In his sermon centered on James 2:14–26, Alex shows us that genuine faith is never alone—it produces the visible fruit of obedience. Works do not contribute to our justification before God, but they are the God-given evidence of a heart transformed by the Spirit. For the believer, this is both a call to self-examination and a comfort: God Himself works in us to will and to do for His good pleasure (Phil. 2:12–13). For the unbeliever, it is a gracious warning that mere profession without transformation is empty, and that Christ alone gives living faith that bears fruit in keeping with repentance.
