Be blessed as you listen to this sermon delivered at Word of Grace and do write a comment on how you have been blessed. In many ways, the book of James echoes the teaching of Jesus. At least fifteen times, James alludes to the Sermon on the Mount in James. This book is not addressed to any particular church but is a wisdom book that echoes the Sermon on the Mount and Proverbs. The book of James is about how the word can be made flesh in our lives.

The book of James is known for its practical wisdom—truths that don’t just shape what we believe, but how we live. In recent weeks, James 1 and 2 reminded us how God uses suffering to mature us, and how genuine faith expresses itself through works.
