A New Operating System

Week 4 Message

You can’t just read a how-to guide to fix a problem. You have to follow the steps and put in the work. The same is very true for our Spiritual lives. Don’t just read the Bible – do what it says. Staying humble and focusing on God can help temper our anger and other character struggles.

Introduction

The Book of James is a powerful and intensely practical how-to manual for the Christian life. In this short letter, we learn how God has equipped us to face anything that comes our way with purpose, confidence, courage and hope.

Faith for the Real World

The early followers of Jesus faced trouble, persecution and suffering. This letter contains truths that strengthened and sustained them. While times are very different, these very same truths can speak to us today!

Here Comes Trouble

Trouble will be part of our lives until history wraps up or we die. James’ letter gives us the tools we need to find joy, rather than being derailed by trouble each and every time it arrives.
