Knowing Jesus Changed James King's Cross Church

- Christianity
We will begin a new sermon series in the Book of James. A good friend of mine likes to call this "the Monday morning letter," since James writes this letter to the church assuming you heard the Good News about Jesus on Sunday, and now he is ardently calling for us to live that out throughout the rest of the week. It's a letter largely about embodying what it means to be a Christian in everyday life. Yet this week we will begin with the author. Because, along with the Gospel, who is writing gives us essential context for understanding why it matters so much. Once we realize this is the brother of Jesus - the same brother who was previously so critical of Jesus (Mk.3:21; Jn.7:5) - this letter begins to come alive in our lives in the same way that James was led to write it. How can that be? Let's talk about how "Knowing Jesus Changed James" (Jas.1:1).
