Where's the Beef?

This sermon from James 2 explored the vital connection between genuine faith and tangible actions. Using the memorable 1980s Wendy's commercial tagline "Where's the Beef?", we examined how modern Christianity can sometimes resemble a fluffy bun with little substance. James challenges us to move beyond mere words and demonstrate our faith through compassion, generosity, and service to others. The message clarified that while we are saved by grace through faith alone (as Paul teaches), authentic saving faith will always produce good works as evidence of its reality. James isn't contradicting Paul; rather, Paul addresses the root of salvation while James addresses the fruit of salvation.

Ask yourself: What evidence of living faith is visible in my life? Where can I demonstrate compassion through action, not just words? Let's be a church known not just for what we believe, but for how we love and serve others in Jesus' name.
