James is a book of practical wisdom for the life of a believer. The short letter challenges us to live in such a way to reflect God’s character in the world as followers of Christ, covering a wide range of topics. Areas of character where we will be encouraged from the book of James include attitudes toward suffering, wealth and temptation, obedience in actions and words, and repentance in our shortcomings. Ricky Simon and Don Dressler will delve into studying James over 12 weeks with observations of his style of writing and discuss the implications for our lives in following Christ.
