10.04.26 - James: A Faith that Works

We begin a journey through the Book of James today. The oldest of Mary and Joseph's other sons, James eventually becomes the leader of the "mother church" in Jerusalem in spite of not believing in his older brother at first. James writes with a voice of practical authority, with themes of (1) facing trials in the Christian life, (2) the need for godly wisdom, and (3) issues surrounding wealth and poverty; all themes we need to visit two millennia later.  To investigate this most important of stories further, go here.
