In this book, James combines the wisdom of his brother Jesus with the book of Proverbs in his own challenging call to live a life wholly devoted to God.
In this message, Benjamin Shanks preaches on the Letter of James, framed around a simple question: Who do you want to be like when you grow up? For a disciple of Jesus, our ultimate answer is Him—Christ is our ‘telos’, our goal, our end, our target, the one we want to be like most of us. The letter of James teaches us how. How to be like Jesus when you grow up: 1) Test your faith; 2) Trust the Lord; 3) Try His Word.
James is a book all about putting faith into action; belief into behaviour. In this 12-week series, we’re working through the entire Book of James and learning how to reframe every aspect of our lives under the faith we profess.
