Written by the half-brother of Jesus, the book of James has been described as "Christianity in blue jeans." Right theology must lead to right living. Otherwise, it is worthless. James gives us theology applied. This series of messages is a verse-by-verse exposition of the book of James by Justin Peters, of Justin Peters Ministries, and were preached during our Sunday Morning Worship Service.
