🌟 Unlocking Wisdom: Yakov "Jacob:" Half-Brother to Jesus of Nazareth 🌟

Hey there, Bible adventure enthusiast! 

In this sermon, I delve into the wisdom of the humility encapsulated in the book of James, Chapter 1. 

Let's unravel the proverbial onion and open Super Book to the book of James, Chapter 1. His Hebrew name was Yakov. The English name "James" was added later by English copyists and should rather be titled the book of Yakov. But, I digress!

📖 Scripture Focus: James 1:19-25 NASB95
     This you know, my beloved brethren. But everyone must be quick to hear, slow to speak and slow to anger; for the anger of man does not achieve the righteousness of God. Therefore, putting aside all filthiness and all that remains of wickedness, in humility receive the word implanted, which is able to save your souls. But prove yourselves doers of the word, and not merely hearers who delude themselves. For if anyone is a hearer of the word and not a doer, he is like a man who looks at his natural face in a mirror; for once he has looked at himself and gone away, he has immediately forgotten what kind of person he was. But one who looks intently at the perfect law, the law of liberty, and abides by it, not having become a forgetful hearer but an effectual doer, this man will be blessed in what he does.

🧠 Key Takeaways:

    i. The closer to Jesus you get, the more you will want to learn to defer to Him.
    ii. Even being the half-brother to the Messiah, James humbles himself as a bond-servant.
    iii. James was evidently called Old Camel Knees reflecting a dedicated prayer life.
    iv. The zoomers these days can't read Roman Numerals (sad... (very sad, indeed)).

🙏 James is evidently the first of the New Testament Scriptures:
Shut off the noise around you. Save yourself the heartache! Pause to reflect. Stay in the Word of God and stay serious about The Way. Jesus of Nazareth is The Way, The Truth and The Life. No one comes to God The Father in Heaven, except by Jesus, the Son of God. Amen! Amen!
