Consider it WHAT?

Series: James

Consider it WHAT?

February 20, 2022 | Mike Matousek

We open our series on the book of James and its practical guidance to the Christian life. The video clip we watch at the beginning says it's a book that "is all up in your business," and we start off right away considering its provocative statement that facing trials should be considered as joy. How? Why? Join us to find out.

Series Information

The book of James is unlike most others in the Bible. It has been loved by many for its straight talk about faith, and it has been questioned and even marginalized by some for its apparent lack of grace and emphasis on the work of Jesus. Written by the brother of Jesus who himself was a key leader in the early church, this book "gets up in our business" and challenges us to practically live out what we believe in the real world that tests that faith at every turn. It's a book we all need to return to time and again as we strive to become better followers of Jesus.
