This Sunday we are continuing our summer series by looking into James 1:27-2:13.

As a practical commentary on Jesus’ Sermon on the Mount (Matthew 5-7), James paints a picture of the characteristics of God’s world compared to the corrupted one. And, the “canary in the coal mine” is how the vulnerable are cared for as evidenced in table fellowship—the most important and common part of society in the ancient world. I.e., how do we know if we are living into God’s redeemed world or remaining camped in a corruptible one? Look no further than the vulnerable says James.
