Does James Contradict Paul?

In case you have missed any of our 2012 Fall Gospel Meeting here at the Waverly Church of Christ, you have the opportunity to catch up on of the wonderful lessons below. The lessons have been very well presented and well studied. Chris Kemp is a magnificent speaker who is well versed in God’s Word.

These series of lessons, with the theme of “Does James contradict Paul?”, bring an in depth look at grace based theology.  Are we saved through grace or merit? And how the answer is justified by scripture. We encourage you to open your heart as you listen and our prayer is that you will “grow in grace and knowledge of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ” (2 Peter 3:18)
