The Book of James (Introduction)
Pastor Joel gives an introduction and overview of the book of James as he enter a series on James Chapter one.
The book of James offers comfort and hope for the early church during a season of persecution and trials. It encourages obedience to God and provides instruction and encouragement on essential matters relating to the unity and life of the church. Some early church leaders thought James and the Apostle Paul contradicted each other. However, after closer study, these two books are not contradictory but rather complementary. Paul approaches the idea of faith in a way that says salvation is by grace alone, through faith alone. James approaches the idea of faith in a way that says our works prove the reality of our salvation by faith.
