In this episode, we’ll explore Romans 12:4-6 and discover how God has uniquely equipped each believer with gifts that matter. Whether your gifts are seen by many or known only to God, they are valuable in His kingdom. Join me as we reflect on the gifts God has given us, the danger of comparison, and how we can take one simple step this weekend to serve others for His glory. Key Scripture: Romans 12:4-6 Remember: God created you for a purpose. God has gifted you for service. And those gifts can make an eternal difference when placed in His hands.

Jesus: Faith That Shows Up (James Series - Episode 4)

Send us Fan Mail [https://www.buzzsprout.com/2459491/fan_mail/new] Faith That Shows Up — James Series Episode 4 In Episode 4 of our James series, we explore one of the most well-known and challenging passages in the entire book of James: 📖 James 2:14–26 “Faith without works is dead.” What does genuine faith look like when it begins showing up in everyday life? James reminds us that faith is more than words. It’s more than simply saying,“I believe.” Real faith produces visible evidence. In this episode, we talk about: • why faith and obedience work together • how genuine faith produces compassion and action • what we can learn from Abraham’s example of faith • and how others can see Jesus through the way we live We’ll also explore an important truth: We are not saved by works. But saving faith works. Because genuine faith doesn’t stay hidden. It shows up through kindness,compassion,generosity,service,and obedience. When Jesus changes a heart,it eventually becomes visible in a person’s life. Not perfectly. But visibly. And when our faith begins showing up in everyday life… people see Jesus through us. That… is the Jesus Effect. This episode of The Jesus Effect was written and hosted by me, Steve McLane. If this message touched your heart, please consider sharing it.
