The Tongue Is A Fire

The Tongue Is A Fire

Pastor Travis continues our study through James. James reminds us that good works are not limited to just actions, but that words are also works. Discussion/Reflection: When have you experienced words used to damage or harm? In what ways have you used your words to bless and/or curse?

Faith: Dead or Alive?

Do you have faith in Jesus? Is it just words or does your faith spur action? In James chapter 2 we will explore his most famous teaching. "Faith without works is Dead". Discussion/Reflection How is "dead faith" different from having no faith at all? What evidence is there in your life of "living/active faith'?

Favoritism

Where James addresses the Jewish Christian communities regarding the favoritism toward the rich, and their discrimination against the poor. Discussion/Reflection In what subtle (or overt) ways do we show favoritism in our lives, workplaces, or church community?

Hearing, Receiving, & Doing God's Word

In today's passages, that Pastor Travis takes us through, James shows us a much needed correction in each of our lives. Reflect/Discuss In what ways do you put God's Word into practice in areas of speech, anger, and mercy for the most vulnerable?

Tempted

Reflection Questions: What do you learn to be true about God in James 1:12-18? What is the difference between being TESTED (for growth) and TEMPTED (to sin)?
