Word and Work pt. 1 - The Law of Liberty
James 1:17-27
The book of James has always been controversial. It's been accused of legalistic, but it contains great wisdom and great truth.
In today's passage, we wrestle with the question of what makes us good. There are a lot of messages out there in the world about how we can be good, but all of them leave us wanting something else. God's word to us is that we can only be saved by receiving God's word, the gospel, and putting it into action.

Acts 26
As Paul stood before the court, he poured out his testimony. He had seen a wonder that had changed his life. Yet, he found his story dismissed.
The world is full of false wonders, hoaxes, and deceptions - but that does not mean that all wonders are false.
The gospel of Jesus is a world-changing wonder, and generations of believers testify to its reality and power. This wonder must be at the center of our mission.
