“The Book of James”

After Easter Sunday, the first followers of Jesus spent forty days with the Lord before He ascended into heaven. They had amazing experiences with Him as He showed Himself alive to various people in a variety of settings. The Apostle Paul writes about these Resurrection appearances of Jesus in his first letter to the church in Corinth:

For I handed down to you as of first importance what I also received, that Christ died for our sins according to the Scriptures, and that He was buried, and that He was raised on the third day according to the Scriptures, and that He appeared to Cephas, then to the twelve. After that He appeared to more than five hundred brothers and sisters at one time, most of whom remain until now, but some have fallen asleep; then He appeared to James, then to all the apostles; and last of all, as to one untimely born, He appeared to me also. (1 Corinthians 15:3-8).

For the next few weeks, I will be preaching a series of sermons from the Book of James. We’ll see how the Resurrection of Jesus transformed the life of his brother James. We’ll also see how the Lord is transforming our lives today.

In Christ,

Pastor David
