Integrated: The Anatomy of Faith | January 25, 2026

Is your faith alive? In this week's message from our "Integrated" series, Pastor Stephen Mizell examines James 2:14-26 and challenges us with a simple truth: a faith that doesn't act isn't alive. Join us as we explore what it means to close the gap between what we say we believe and how we actually live. This isn't about judgment—it's about diagnosis. Just like a doctor identifies health issues to help us heal, God's Word reveals areas where our faith needs action. Key Takeaways: Faith without works is dead—belief must lead to action Don't just acknowledge needs, engage with them practically True faith is demonstrated through deeds, not just words God calls us to be people who don't just talk about helping others, but actually do it Justice requires both law and compassion—grace and truth in tension CONNECT WITH US: 📍 Open Door Church, Edenton, NC 👤 Pastor Stephen Mizell ABOUT OPEN DOOR CHURCH: Open Door Church is located in Edenton, NC, where Pastor Stephen Mizell serves as lead pastor.
