As leader of the Jerusalem church, what words of encouragement would James write to these persecuted Christians? Perhaps a little surprisingly, his key message was: faith works. Genuine belief inevitably transforms our speech, suffering, compassion for the poor, humility, prayers, priorities, and, frankly, every other aspect of life. In 5 chapters James introduces and briefly touches upon a whole variety of issues that concern the new believers. In a simple, forthright style he urges them to live out their faith, knowing that God's grace is sufficient for every trial and that there is a value and purpose to their suffering. James' own life illustrated this message. He had grown up with Jesus and was naturally skeptical about his brother's Messianic claims. But a post-resurrection encounter with Jesus revolutionized his life. He was transformed from a vocal critic into a key leader of the early church and prime mover in the Jerusalem Council (Acts 15).

Stuart Briscoe
In 1970, Elmbrook Church in Brookfield, WI, U.S.A. asked Stuart Briscoe to become pastor. The church has since grown to a weekly attendance in excess of 7,000 and has planted eight sister churches in the Milwaukee area. Elmbrook's TV and radio ministries,Telling the Truth, featuring Stuart and Jill are broadcast widely--while his extensive video and audio tapes and more then 40 books extend his ministry. After 30 years as Senior Pastor at Elmbrook Church, Stuart stepped down. He and Jill have assumed the roles of Ministers-at-Large on Elmbrook's church staff.
