All of our ABFs are in the book of James.
Many of us have committed to reading the book of James each week.
What is the theme of the book of James?
Authentic faith
So we can outline the book as a description (a visible portrayal) of real faith.
Authentic faith –
When stretched it doesn’t break. 1
When pressed it doesn’t fall. 2
When expressed it doesn’t explode. 3-4
When distressed it doesn’t panic. 5

1:9-18 Authentic faith —
1:19-20 Authentic faith —
1:21-27 Authentic faith —
