What Do Christians Look Like?

With its roots in Old Testament wisdom and the teachings of Jesus, James’s letter is full of practical challenge. It will not let believers be complacent when things are good, or give up when things are bad. Instead, it gives us a vivid portrait of the life God wants us to live – and stern warnings about what He hates – with the ultimate goal of conforming us to the image of Jesus.

Our new series starts with the story of James himself, and how his example shows us that truly being changed to be like Jesus can only happen when Jesus Himself is at work in us.

Sooner or later, every one of us will face trials in life that test our faith. God intends to use our trials to grow in us persevering faith and make us wholehearted followers of Jesus. In this process, James calls us to ask for God’s wisdom, trust in His goodness, and keep our eyes fixed on the eternal hope we have in Jesus.

To be a Christian neighbour, we must hear God’s Word, do what it says, and examine ourselves closely in its mirror. And, like Jesus, we must learn to practise mercy more than we practise judgment — because mercy triumphs over judgment.

Note: the recording starts as Dan is reading from James 1: 22.
