James

The repeated cry of James is that faith apart from works can never be sustained. We should proclaim this truth because faith makes us doers of the Word, not just hearers. Faith keeps us humble, not proud; directs our tongues to bless, not to curse. Faith causes us to preach the good news to every tribe, tongue, and nation. This is the message of James: Faith/Works. Join Matt Chandler for 13 days going verse-by-verse through the book of James.  

James: Faith/Works

Living in the 21st century as a Christian is hard. So was it for the Jewish believers some 2000 years ago. That’s why James, the half-brother of Jesus, wrote a letter to encourage the believers then to press on in their trials. There's much to learn and take heart from his letter, because the very same lessons still apply today.

Facing Trials & Temptations

In the book of James, we're told that the testing of our faith will result in perseverance, bringing us to a point where we "lack nothing." But how can we really treat our trials with a spirit of "pure joy"? In this 7-day plan, readers will embark on a journey encouraging them to witness the profound transformation that unfolds when we embrace Christ's power amidst our hardship.

Pure Joy: 7 Devotions in the Book of James

Vance K. Jackson leads readers in this powerful devotional. God cannot be tempted with evil — neither does God tempt man. Let no man say when he is tempted that He’s tempted of God. Temptation does not come from God. God does not entice you to sin. Satan lures. The enemy entices. Satan wants to draw you away from communing and connecting with Christ. Surrender to Christ. 

 God Does Not Tempt Man

This simple plan will take you through the book of James and would be great for individual or group study.

This 5-Day plan is taken from my book "James Scripture Journey: A 40-Day Bible Study on the Book of James." 
James, the half-brother of Jesus, pulls no punches. He wants you to have a faith that grows, a faith that is grounded, and a faith lived out. 

NOTE: This plan is like looking at "scenes" from the "movie" that is James. To get the most out of this plan, I recommend reading or listening to the whole book (about 15 minutes) so you can get a better grasp on the whole movie as you study the scenes! 

Faith Developed and Lived Out: James 1 in Action

The "Experiencing God in James Bible Study" aims to guide readers through meditative reflections that challenge us to truly look for God in the Scripture. These reflections in turn help us experience God in our day-to-day lives, deepening our relationship with both God and His Word!

Experiencing God in James

Someone once said, " The tongue has no bones, but is strong enough to break a heart. So be careful with your words."  How true. If even James, the half brother of Jesus, affirmed this truth in his letter some 2000 years ago to Jewish believers dispersed in the face of difficulties, it's time we recognize the power of the tongue.
