Oct 18 – Pt 5 – James – Greetings & Enduring Trials and Temptations

Today we start our study in the book of James. The letter reads like a Monday morning office memo. From the beginning James expects his readers to put their faith into action. He addresses practical issues that are as current as this morning’s newspaper. He tells us that the faith that Christians claim must be demonstrated in all the situations and circumstances of life—at work, at home, in the neighborhood, in church. And trials and hardships shouldn’t be seen as hindrances to faith, but as opportunities to exercise healthy faith. Knowing God’s Word is not enough. We’ve got to apply that knowledge to our everyday lives—real faith is the application of God’s truth to ourselves. So let’s begin.  Thanks for listening. Blessings and love in Christ!
