James and Paul both wrote letters in the New Testament, but when we consider their theology, they can appear to be preaching a different message. Paul says that justification is by faith alone. James says that faith without works is dead. In this message, we look at how the teachings of both men are true and point us to the gospel.

Sermon: Unstoppable – Galatians 3:15-18
Paul talks a lot about Abraham in Galatians 3. Earlier in this chapter, an emphasis from Paul was the faith of Abraham.
