About this sermon

Is faith something a person decides, or a switch God flips? Greenman opens with a video his brother sent him in which a Calvinist argues that no one can be reasoned into belief. From there the study separates a faith — belief in general — from the faith of Ephesians 4:5, tests James 2:18 against the standing charge of works-salvation, and lingers on a meme that reverses Jesus' words into "being saved has faith you."

Chris Kramer of the Northside church of Christ is joined by Nick Greenman of the Memorial Blvd. church of Christ in Springfield, TN.
