Authentic Faith in a Hostile World

A study of the Book of James

Temptation is a common experience among all human beings. The question is: How do we deal with temptation as a follower of Jesus? Pastor Dave teaches about the source of temptation and how to deal with it successfully. (James 1:13-18)

James teaches why the poor and the rich have reason to celebrate their position in Christ. The answer points to a future hope that all believers share. (James 1:9-12)

James says that we should respond to trials in life with pure joy. That's much easier said than done. How can a Christian respond with joy when faced with trying times? Pastor Dave shows us that our pain has a purpose. (James 1:1-4)

The Book of James is unique among the books of the New Testament. It focuses on living out the faith to which we hold so dearly. In this study, Pastor Dave sets the scene to help us understand the Book of James better. (Introduction to James)
