Thoughts from Today’s Message, Delivered by Bob Sarratt
Works do not save; we are saved by grace, through faith (Ephesians 2:8-10). However, faith without works is dead (James 2:20).
We are known by our fruits (Matthew 7:16-20), whether we "do good deeds" for the glory of God and out of obedience and love toward Him, or whether our works (or lack thereof) serve rather to further our own interests and procure us the praise of men (Matthew 6:1-4). Therefore let us evidence our faith by our works (James 2:18), for faith with works is dead, and no true faith at all.

My dad taught at our church fellowship Sunday morning about James 2 and "faith without works is dead." Sounds like we heard similar messages.
