James the Brother of Jesus | 1 Corinthians 15:3–8

James had a really interesting journey with his older brother.  We’re going to learn today that James was not a believer in Jesus early on in Jesus’ ministry.  In fact, he may not have embraced the truth about his brother until Jesus had risen from the dead.  But whenever he chose to trust and follow his big brother Jesus as the Christ and his Lord, we know that he did – and we know that he served his brother unto death.
