Last week's Sermon message was titled Sheep & Goats. We looked at the lectionary reading last week from Matthew 25:31-46. This is the passage where Jesus promises that at the end, He will separate the sheep from the goats. The sheep will come with him into the kingdom of heaven, while the goats will go into the lake of fire.
What was the difference between the two? Was it faith? No. Both groups had faith. It was works. The people who made a difference in the lives of others were counted as sheep. The ones who helped others meet their basic needs were the ones counted as sheep.
The message looked at this. Paul says we are saved by faith and faith alone. What then is the lesson here?
