I’m excited to embark on a verse-by-verse journey through the book of James. You may have noticed that there haven’t been any new episodes since the end of April. I decided to take a few weeks off to hit the reset button a bit. During that time, I’ve been preparing for the next series, which will be a study through this book. 

As we go through it, you’ll notice that it is an overly-practical book. James’ quill was soaked in the ink of practical Christian living. These exhortations are not general either. James doesn’t just say “put your faith in practice! Do more!” No, James dealt with specific issues - trials, sinful temptations, and oppression. He addressed the sins of partiality, lust, and an uncontrolled tongue.

James wrote to call believers to put their faith into practice. They knew what to believe, but their beliefs had not yet shaped their behavior. This is an incredibly relevant book for us today. I hope you will join me as we travel through this challenging and edifying book!
