Equipping the Saints to Fulfill the Great Commission
In this series, we will study each chapter of the book of James, and see what the author is trying to tell us. Then, we can circle back and look more in depth at various themes in this book and what we can learn from similar areas in other parts of the Bible.
The Book of James
Whoever looks intently into the perfect law that gives freedom, and continues in it—not forgetting what they have heard, but doing it—they will be blessed in what they do.
James 1:19-27
We are to pray for the wisdom of God. 'If any of you lacks wisdom, you should ask God, who gives generously to all without finding fault, and it will be given to you.'
James 1:5-8
Perseverance and carrying the cross faithfully will lead us to receiving the crown of life and so much more for eternity. 'Blessed is he who perseveres through the trials.'
James 1:9-18
We are not promised that life will be easier, but that as we are tested it will produce steadfastness.
James 1:1-4
Show no partiality as you hold the faith in our Lord Jesus Christ, the Lord of glory… So speak and so act as those who are to be judged under the law of liberty. For judgment is without mercy to one who has shown no mercy. Mercy triumphs over judgment.
James 2:1-13
Once we understand the spirit behind tithing, generosity, and the Spirit behind generosity, Jesus Christ, we can further comprehend how to be generous.
