SERVICE - Joy in the Midst of Trial
James 1:1-11
Introduction
James is a letter written by the half-brother of Jesus (Galatians 1:19) who, after Jesus’ resurrection, served as a leader in the Jerusalem church (Acts 15:13-21). James was concerned the church, scattered because of persecution, continue to follow Jesus and make Him known. He wants us to understand what life looks like under the rule of Christ, giving clear instruction on things such as suffering, riches/poverty, speech, caring for orphans & widows, quarrels, humility, making plans, favoritism/partiality, and more. As we launch into James, pray God gives us grace (James 4:6) to be doers of God’s word (James 1:22) who love Jesus above all and look forward His return (James 1:12).
