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)

Today, if you and I are to have any part in Him, we must allow Him to wash us in the waters of baptism, even as the early Christians did.
I thank my God in all my remembrance of you, always offering prayer with joy in my every prayer for you all, in view of your participation in the gospel from the first day until now. For I am confident of this very thing, that He who began a good work in you will perfect it until the day of Christ Jesus. Philippians 1:3–6

In the first part, we began looking at John 11, and the amazing miracle which John narrates for us — the raising of Lazarus, a man who had been dead…
When Abram, Levi & Saul’s names were changed, they were thereafter called by their new name.  Why was Jacob called both Jacob & Israel after his name was changed?
