In this 5-week series, we are going to look at the core message of James: the relationship between faith and works, because in our ability, we cannot stand in the face of adversity. Without faith, we could never find the strength to trust God. We would never be able to see above the trials we meet and to keep our eyes focused on Jesus while counting our trials with joy.

This is the essence of James. We don’t work to be saved. We work because we are saved. For faith apart from works can never be sustained.
