Faith and Works Together – Faith Without Works is Dead
This warning from the Lord establishes the terrifying possibility that one can acknowledge Jesus verbally and intellectually yet be rejected at the judgment for a lack of obedient action.

When the Israelites faced Pharaoh’s army at the Red Sea, fear and complaint overtook them—they preferred slavery to the unknown. Moses called them to silence fear, stand still, and see God’s salvation, then go forward by faith. This sermon confronts our own Red Sea crises, urging believers to reject grumbling, trust God’s power, and step forward, knowing the same God who parted the sea fights for us today.
In this study of Galatians 6:14, Preacher Ed explores the profound paradox of the cross. Once a symbol of ultimate shame and humiliation, the cross is the sole ground of the Christian’s boast because it transforms death into life and sin into salvation. Discover why the cross declares that your life is not futile, your failures are not fatal, and your death is not final.
Many people live trapped by their past, crushed by failure, or afraid of tomorrow. Scripture shows that God did not give up on Lot, Rahab, David, or Paul—even after deep sin and terrible mistakes. This lesson shows that real, confident hope is found only in Christ, and that the same grace that saved them is still available today.
Life is a mist, and Scripture is clear that living only for what is “under the sun” leads to emptiness and disappointment. Ecclesiastes exposes the vanity of a Godless life, while James shows how trials build endurance and maturity. This lesson calls us to stop chasing what fades and to find lasting purpose by fearing God and obeying His Word.
Luke 12 confronts the hunger for “more” and exposes the trap of greed, worry, and misplaced priorities. Jesus warns that life does not consist of possessions, and He calls us to be rich toward God. The real test is simple: if everything material vanished, would knowing Christ still be enough?
Christians are saved and forgiven, yet still growing in faith. In Mark 9, a desperate father teaches us an honest prayer: “Lord, I believe; help my unbelief.” This lesson calls believers to walk humbly, depend on God in prayer, and keep growing as disciples of Christ.
