What a privilege it is for us to read the Bible together with you all.  The Book of James is extremely practical and relevant to the Christian life.  With so much turbulence and uncertainty in the world right now, we invite you to read along with us and experience God's encouragement for you to persevere in trial and grow in your faith through James' exhortation.  Stay tuned next week for part 2 where we will wrap up the remaining chapters!Resources for this Episode:Chuck Missler - An Exposition of James (Blue Letter Bible/Audio)Tony Evans -  Bible CommentaryD.
