n this series, Rev. Adam Hamilton explores three of the many themes in the New Testament Epistle of James. Week 1 examines temptations and trials, exploring how we respond when wronged, face consequences of our actions, or encounter tragedies and disappointments. Week 2 addresses the power of the tongue—whether it serves as a concealed weapon or instrument of love—and offers practical wisdom for bridling our speech. Week 3 explores James’s teaching that faith without works is dead, examining how authentic faith expresses itself through care for the poor, widows, and orphans. You will find series resources here, along with the weekly sermons.
