To say that 2020 has been a difficult year is an understatement. Many have struggled with difficulties and doubts, beset with trials and temptations. Christians living in the first century church, shortly after the death of Christ, were plagued with similar problems.

The apostle James provides followers of Christ with practical tips for faithful living in the midst of such difficulties. James reminds his audience that God’s grace is the only solution for fallen human beings. He helps us confront the source of our fears and temptations and redirects our trust to the One who loves us eternally.

This 6-week class offers an in-depth study of the epistle of James. We will examine the text and focus our discussion on practical insights into living the life of faith.
