The book of James is one of the most challenging texts of the Bible to read as a Christian. It may be the the focus on works as evidence of faith that cause people frustration. Perhaps it is because it reads more like proverbs than a letter. It may be that it just rubs the reader the wrong way. Whatever it is that makes the text of James challenging for most to read, it is also what makes it a necessary read for any believer. The marriage between faith and works in the life of a follower of Christ must constantly and consistently evaluated to ensure that we are truly living as Jesus expected. Through this 12 week series, we will be challenged to consider whether our faith and works are truly going together and whether others really are seeing us live with our “Heart in Hand”. This week, Pastor Butler speaks to us about our common standing before the LORD and how it affects who we are.
