Need Requires Mission (Galatians 2:10; James 2:14–17; 1 John 3:16–18)
Nov 23, 2025 • Greg McGhee
This week’s message, “Need Requires Mission” (James 2:14–19), exposes the danger of faith that is all talk and no traction. James shows that real faith doesn’t stop at belief—it steps into need. Through three portraits—useless faith, dead faith, and demonic faith—he calls the church to action. Supported by Galatians 2:10 and 1 John 3:16–18, we see that authentic faith expresses itself through compassion, conviction, and obedience. This message ties directly to our series, Stop Going to Church—Start Being the Church. The proof of life in our faith isn’t what we claim but what we carry out. When faith sees a need and moves, the church comes alive and the mission of Christ becomes visible.
