Living Faith | Smith Wigglesworth Sermon

Sermon overview

James begins with someone who lacks food and clothing. That practical example prepares the way for Abraham and Rahab later in the passage.

Consider why James starts with speech that offers good wishes without practical help. The example gives the reader a way to test the chapter in daily life.

How Wigglesworth influenced Vince Baker

Vince Baker came to Christ on July 9 at age 17. For his July 26 birthday, his grandmother gave him Albert Hibbert’s Smith Wigglesworth: The Secret of His Power.

Vince recalls that God spoke to him as he read about Wigglesworth’s life and ministry. The book shaped his own walk with God and the way he teaches about faith, prayer, and yielding to the Holy Spirit.
