Intensive Bible Training
Intensive Bible Training—The Book of James: From Belief to Behavior
with Mark Yarbrough, Mark Bailey, Tim Lundy and Grant Partrick
June 21-26, 2026
As Christians, how should we live? The book of James is a guiding light for believers, teaching us how to express our faith through action, speech, compassion, and service. This New Testament letter serves as a practical manual for hands-on Christianity. The Intensive Bible Training will walk you through James’ epistle, encouraging you to be a doer of God’s Word, not just a hearer.
