Description
Series Big Idea
James, the half-brother of Jesus, shares wisdom on how to overcome challenges that can trip us up as Christ-followers and keep us from growing to maturity. The letter of James is the closest thing we have to “wisdom literature” in the New Testament – it’s kind of like the “Proverbs” of the New Testament. The wisdom found in this short book is as relevant today as it was in the first century. It is easy to understand but challenging to follow.
MESSAGE 1 – Temptation
- Scripture: James 1:1-4, 1:13-18
