Discussing James 1:1

In this first video of the series, I discuss the introduction to the Letter of James and its importance for our understanding the rest of the book. I discuss:

  • The importance of knowing the messenger
  • James the Pastor and Writer
  • James the Servant of God and of Jesus
  • James the Brother of Jesus
  • James' audience: The "Scattered Chosen"

Question: What do you get out of James 1:1? What do you feel it means to be a "servant of God and of Jesus"?
