Ep. 1 - James: A Bondservant of Christ

When you write a letter, how do you start?  If you grew  up in the United States, you learned in school that you start with  “Dear” and the name to whom you are writing.  What if the person doesn’t  know you?  In that case, you give the reader a little introduction  about yourself: who you are, your occupation (if relevant), and any  other important background information.  In Biblical epistles, the style is a bit different, but the idea is the same.  When reading the  epistles in the Bible, you’ll find that most of them start with the name  of the writer, the recipient of the letter, and the author’s role in  the Kingdom of heaven.  For example, James starts out by saying “JAMES, a  bondservant of God and of the Lord Jesus Christ, To the twelve tribes  which are scattered abroad: Greetings” (James 1:1[1]).  If you look  closely, you’ll notice that James, like most of the epistles, start out  with being a bondservant or apostle according to the will of God.  What  does that mean?  In short, James is introducing himself.  For James  specifically, what does that imply?  In James’ epistle to the churches  spread throughout the world, James starts his letter by backing up his claims by being submissive to the Lord. Today, we also have Taylor Berghuis as a guest on the podcast.  He is the shepherd of the Canyon Bible Study for college students at Grace Community Church.  He will help college students understand how practically live as God's slaves. -- Chapters: 00:00 Introduction 01:00 Main Segment - Being a Slave of Christ 08:06 Application Segment - Interview with Taylor Berghuis -- Follow us on social media!
