We are starting a new series called “Practical Wisdom from James: Timely Wisdom for Our World Today.”
The Book of James is a short book in the Bible. It is unique in the New Testament for its focus on actions. In chapter 2 verse 17, James writes that “faith by itself, if it is not accompanied by action, is dead.” In this series, we explore four ways that faith is lived according to James. Together, we will see how James, the brother of Jesus and leader of the early Christian church in Jerusalem, provides practical wisdom for how we follow Jesus today. For this podcast, the practical wisdom is “Listening Matters.” (James 1:17-21)
These days with all that is going on around us it seems like we are not able to influence a lot and we don’t have a lot of control over our lives, but there is practical wisdom in this short little book about how we might be able to change and what we could become if we took to heart that our listening matters, our actions matter, our words matter, and our praying matters.
Together, we will see how James, the brother of Jesus and leader of the early Christian church in Jerusalem, provides practical wisdom for how we follow Jesus today.
