Not MY might. Not MY power. But by God’s Spirit. Zechariah 4:6

SCRIPTURE: James 2:14-26 NIV

An empowered FAITH – is NOT – just something YOU SAY.

“What do you think? A man had two sons, and he came to the first and said, ‘Son, go work

today in the vineyard.’ ‘He answered, ‘I will not’ – but afterward he regretted it and went. ‘The

man came to the second and said the same thing; and he answered, ‘I will, sir’ – but he did not

go. Which of the two did the will of his father? They said, ‘The first.’ Jesus said to them, ‘Truly

I say to you that the tax collectors and prostitutes will get into the kingdom of God before

you.’”

Matthew 21:28-31

An empowered FAITH – is NOT – just something YOU FEEL.

“Suppose a brother or sister is without clothes and daily food. If one of you says to him ‘Go, I

wish you well fed,’ but does nothing about his physical needs, what good is it?”

James 2:15

“If anyone has material possessions and sees his brother in need but has no pity on him, how

can the love of God be in him?”

1 John 3:17

An empowered FAITH – is NOT just something YOU BELIEVE.

“You believe that there is one God. Good! Even the demons believe that – and shudder!”

James 2:19

An empowering FAITH – IS something – YOU DO…out there…

“Faith by itself, if it’s not accompanied by actions, is dead.”

James 2:17

“A good man brings good things out of the good stored up in him, and an evil man brings evil

things out of the evil stored up in him.”

Matthew 12:35

SCRIPTURE: James 2:21-25 NIV
