Before we walk verse by verse through James, we need to see the bigger picture. James writes from within the great story of the Bible — a story that begins with creation and ends in the restoration of all things. This story moves through five great movements:

1.    Creation – Made in God’s Image

2.    Crack – Sin Fractures That Image

3.    Covenant – God Calls a People to Wholeness

4.    Redemption – Jesus Restores the Broken Image

5.    Consummation – The Promise of Full Restoration
