We're out to do what
the world tells us not to do
That's loving God
and loving all His people
It sounds a lil' bit silly
But showing them
The Love of God...
Is a revolution in itself

By now i think u all shld know tt we would be doing the book of James for the new year...
anyway... this is a short intro for James to help u understand this letter better, but i do encourage u to read the book before e 1st lesson so tt u can have e big picture of wad is happening.
purpose of James: to expose hypocritical practice and to teach right Christian behaviour.
As compared to Hebrews, e previous book in which e emphasis is to believe (in Christ), the emphasis here is abt living our faith, since we say that we believe in Him.
to whom written: 1st-century Jewish Christians residing in Gentile communities outside Palestine, and all Christians everywhere.
major themes in James: living out our faith

major themes in James: living out our faith
- trials used to test our faith
- keeping the Law of love (Mat 19:19)
- wise speech coming from accepting wisdom from above
- importance of heavenly wealth
- importance of prayer
hope this would help u understand the book better
God bless!
