Hello, this is Ashley Chase welcoming you to the Mark Driscoll Podcast.

For more content from my dad, Pastor Mark, senior pastor here at the Trinity Church in

Scottsdale, Arizona, visit realfaces.com where you'll find study guides to go along with

each sermon series as he preaches verse by verse through books of the Bible, daily

devotions, free e-books, and more.

Now grab your Bibles and get ready for today's sermon.

Alright, this is going to be super fun.

I call him the blue-collar scholar of the New Testament.

His dad is Joseph, his mom is Mary.

He grows up in a rural small town, poor family, peasant.

He's going to work with his dad as a little boy.

His dad's a carpenter, but nonetheless, the spirit of God is so strong in James that he

grows up to serve his big brother Jesus as his Lord and Savior and write this amazing book

of the Bible.

And so what happens is there are times in life that we need to take our faith and we need

to put it to work because faith does work.
