From Series: "Faith Does."

We talk a lot about faith and about what it means to believe. But Jesus' brother, James, liked to talk not only about what faith IS, but about what faith DOES. James watched his brother, Jesus, in action, and he saw that real faith is always demonstrated in action. It's practical. During this 5-week series, we’ll be talking about some of the most practical teachings you will find in the New Testament. You are sure to be challenged and blessed!
