Hillsong Church founder Brian Houston’s “there is more” message is not about selfishness or greed. It’s not even about satisfaction and self-fulfillment. It’s about calling—God’s amazing plans for your life and the sufficiency of His grace in superseding your wildest dreams, all for a purpose bigger than you are!

Examine the book of James in three parts: the test of faith, the characteristics of faith, and the triumph of faith. Faith without works cannot be called faith. Faith without works is dead, and a dead faith is worse than no faith at all. Faith must be there, but it must be more. It must inspire action. Throughout his epistle to Jewish believers, James integrates true faith and everyday practical experience by stressing that true faith must manifest itself in works of faith. 

The book of James is beloved for how practical it is in our lives and work. In each day of this five-day plan, you’ll read a chapter of James as well as a short devotional that will focus on a few key verses that are particularly relevant to busy Christian professionals.
