Religion & Spirituality
Rev. Josh Esparza wrapped up "Evidence: A Series on Faith that Bears Fruit," looking at James 2:14-26. Even if you don't have this text memorized you have surely heard it, and the debate that has emerged from it. Are we justified by our faith or by our works? Josh enters this debate, playing on James reference to Rahab (see Joshua 2) and a look at individual agency - a question that has risen to the top of conversation in the state of Texas given the passing of SB8. Toward the end of his sermon, Josh references the Social Principles of the United Methodist Church. You can find all the Social Principles, including what the church says about abortion, here.
