A Faith Diagnostic
James 2:18-26 If you turn in your Bibles to James chapter 2, James chapter 2:18-26, that’s going to be what we look at today. Last week we started into this section beginning in verse 14 of James 2.

And though there is a sense in which the entirety of the book of James has to…

The Gospel Rebukes our Sinful Partiality
James 2:1 If you’d open your Bibles to James chapter 2, James chapter 2, today we’re going to begin to make our way into the main body of the letter of James by looking at the first verse in James chapter 2.
