Pastor Stoos tackles what some consider the most controversial passage of the New Testament when James asks if faith without works is dead? He shows that what James teaches about faith & works in NOT in conflict with the Apostle Paul, the salvation we find in the Gospels nor our great reformation creeds which rightly proclaim the truth of salvation by faith alone! Pastor Stoos even quotes Martin Luther in defense of James arguing for an 'active and energetic' faith! James is concerned about practice and not just theory, calling upon the Biblical examples of Abraham and Rahab to show that 'faith without works is dead.' This sermon also includes a discussion of the various questions and answers form the Heidelberg Catechism discussing the proper and Biblical relationship between faith and works.
