The Wisdom of Jimmy

This Sunday we begin a sermon series on the book of James. James packs a lot of teaching into a short book.
James closely tracks many of the teachings in the book of Matthew. Were the two writers in similar circles? Was the two books written by the same person?
James is also called a catholic (universal) or general epistle. This means that the epistle was not written to a particular church. James was written to the twelve tribes of the diaspora (the church scattered throughout the ancient world).
The words of James are sometimes troubling and always challenging.

Sermon Title: Single-minded Faith
Text: James 1
