Six Questions from James 2 (Faith & Works)

 
1. What use is it my brethren if someone says he has faith but he has no works? (James 2 verse 14) 
2. Can faith without works save him? (James 2 verse 14)
3. But are you willing to recognize, you foolish fellow, that faith without works is useless? (James 2 verse 20)

Jesus feeds the 5,000 – food for thought

Physical food miraculously supplied for the 5,000 men is also serious “food for thought”!

An exposition of Matthew 14:13-21

Lessons:

  • God can also supply our physical needs!
  • God can do even more than we can ask or think! Don’t be “hardened” like the apostles were.

God can also supply our spiritual needs!

Situation Ethics? (Matt. 12:1-8)

An exposition of Matthew 12:1-8
  • Situational ethics is individualistic and therefore may give people an excuse for not obeying Jesus’ commands through His apostles when it suits them.
  • Does Matt. 12:1-8 teach “situation ethics”, as some claim? No!
  • Jesus said, “If you love Me, you will keep My commandments” (Jn.14:15). That is the end of the matter.
