August 30, 2024 • Pastor Lloyd Pulley • James 3:1–12
Today on Bridging the Gap, as we return to our study of James, we’ll be reminded of the power of words. They have the power to motivate millions of people to hang tough in a difficult situation, and they have the ability to cut a person to ribbons. Pastor Lloyd Pulley is our teacher, and on today’s program, he’ll show us what James has to say on the subject of the unbridled tongue.
Real Live Faith That Works - Part 2
August 29, 2024 • Pastor Lloyd Pulley • James 2:10–26
Since our early days in Sunday School we’ve heard over and over again that we are saved by grace and not by works. We’ve committed verses like Ephesians two, verses eight and nine to our memory to reinforce that belief. Then we run across verses in James chapter two that at first glance seem to contradict the doctrine of salvation by grace alone through faith alone. “Faith without works is dead.” But today on Bridging the Gap we’ll see that these passages are actually complimentary.

As we study James chapter two today, we’re going to discuss a subject of some controversy. The relationship between faith and works. James says faith without works is dead, while Paul said we are saved by faith, apart from any works! Is there a way for these two statements to coexist? We’ll find out today on our broadcast.
