Have you ever wondered what faith looks like in action? This devotional walks you through the Book of James—a letter written by James, who is thought to be the brother of Jesus. As James emphasizes the relationship between faith and works, the next three weeks will be a time for you to grow in spiritual wisdom and practical application as you aim to follow Jesus faithfully.

The Book of James

Have you ever wondered what it would be like to share a bunk bed with Jesus as a kid? The incredible, practical book of James, written by one of Jesus' brothers, gives an inside look at Jesus from a member of his very own family. In this 12-day plan, you will study the writings of James and how he practically presents Jesus as Lord and the object of our faith.

Faith Works: A Study in James

True faith produces fruit. A faith without action and without life change is ultimately a dead faith. The book of James speaks to the realities of a living faith in Jesus—the kind of roll-up-your-sleeves and get-your-hands-dirty discipleship that is borne out of an authentic relationship with the risen Lord. James writes to believers who know suffering, who've faced trials, and who ultimately desire a deep relationship with God.

James: Tired, Tested, Torn and Full of Faith

In this seven-day plan, you’ll encounter the themes of the new covenant and new wisdom for New Testament believers. Hebrews compares and contrasts Jesus to key Old Testament figures, showing how he is superior and the ultimate revelation of God’s love and mercy. The book of James is one-of-a-kind in the New Testament, sharing wisdom sayings, much like the book of Proverbs, with followers of Jesus.

BibleProject | New Covenant, New Wisdom

Once we have understood the glory of Christ, making distinctions among ourselves based on wealth and status is not only absurd; it is a betrayal of Jesus and his gift of new life.

James 2 - Worldly Favouritism

As Christ's followers, it is our desire to live victorious lives, free of temptation. But we know that we all struggle with it. Let's examine why and how we are tempted and how we can be overcomers. Here is a 7-day plan written by Navaz DCruz that helps us examine our hearts and reflect upon some truths.

Temptation : Why Can't I Say No?

Most of my family and friends love to receive gifts. Christmas, Easter, birthdays and anniversaries are excuses for my wife and me to give gifts, hugs and words of affirmation. I believe we were designed by God to give and receive gifts. It’s normal and divine. In this reading plan, writer Paul Marc Goulet shares about this topic and what gifts God give us.

Unwrapping the Gifts From God

Without wisdom, every pastor and leader is susceptible to isolation, discouragement, insecurity, and burnout… but that doesn’t have to be your story! This Bible Plan is for pastors, ministers, and church leaders who want to lead faithfully for the long haul, and reflect Christ’s character in their leadership. Read through James with Bible teacher, coach, and author Nicole Smithee to receive God’s wisdom for the unique leadership challenges you are facing.

Take time aside to grow in wisdom, develop your spiritual gifts, and learn about the essential qualities you need to live a prophetic life. This 10-day devotional plan is based on James 3:17 from the book, The Nature of the Prophetic, by Sally McCracken.

The Nature Of The Prophetic

The Book of James is a practical guide for Christian living, emphasizing faith in action. It addresses perseverance in trials, wisdom, the power of prayer, and good works as evidence of faith. James warns about the importance of taming the tongue, urging believers to control their speech. With straightforward teachings, it encourages authentic living, demonstrating faith through righteous deeds and a consistent, godly lifestyle.

Thru the Bible—James

Faith is a precious gift from God. This video plan will show you what having faith means and how you can always put your trust in the unchanging, almighty God.

How Faith Works

Throughout church history, this book has been controversial, mainly due to the debate over faith vs. works. However, a deep dig into this book will yield much treasure for living the Christian life. This week, let’s explore it together.  

Life According to James

This reading plan is part of a series that will take you through the entire New Testament in a year. Each month's plan covers a specific book or books. October focuses on 1 Peter, James, Jude, and 1 Corinthians. The plan is designed to be used with a small group of friends. Read the daily passage first, reflect on one or all of the questions, and try the engagement practice.


New Testament in a Year: October

This eight-day plan will walk you through the book of James by reading a short passage every day. Each day is accompanied by a short video that explains what you're reading and how it's all about Jesus. In this plan, you'll learn how trials shape our faith and explore the upside-down wisdom of Jesus.

James: Living Out Our Faith | Video Devotional

This devotion will take you through the entire book of James. 

Pastor Chuck Swindoll explores James 1:2–12 to help you understand, navigate, and even move beyond the troubles in your life. Troubles aren’t random or meaningless. They are, in fact, trials—faith tests and faith invitations—for increasing our trust in the Lord. Behind them all stands a sovereign, ever-present, compassionate Heavenly Father who is purposeful in all He does and everything He allows.

How to Cling to Hope When Troubles Come Your Way

James has a knack for highlighting common mistakes in the Christian life and drawing us back into a humble admission that we need God’s mercy every day. For those of us who feel lethargic in the faith or who fear that Christian progress as of late has been slow, if measurable at all, the letter of James provides real medicine — sometimes difficult to take but always good for you!

James 1 - The Wisdom Of The Brother Of Jesus

Walk through James in 15 days and learn what real faith in action looks like.

James: Faith in Action

The book of James reads like a series of Post-it notes written by a pastor friend—daily nuggets of advice and information to revisit time and again. God wants to build your character—by following Christ's example and serving others. This 8-day series written by Bill Rumbaugh takes you through James, where you can find encouragement in living your Christian life.

James: Advice for the Christian Life

James, the half-brother of Jesus writes in his capacity as a pastor to encourage and exhort his people dispersed in the face of difficulties. The primary theme of the letter is on living out one’s faith, being a doer and not just a hearer of the word. Though our context may be different, every single lesson still applies today.

Hearing and Obeying His Word

Men often talk a good game, but its our daily walk that shows our true character. In this Bible Study, you'll see how James challenges the church to put their faith to action, but also be encouraged to become a man of complete faith and integrity.

The rich oppressors in this world will soon be overthrown. This promise of God’s justice, reassures the faithful who wait patiently in the face of their suffering.

James 5 - Lessons for Rich Oppressors, Patience in Suffering, and Keeping the Letter of James Alive

In the early church, there was a distorted mindset that Christians, if saved by grace through faith, need not worry about their actions. James responded solemnly with this overarching idea in the letter: faith without works is dead. Therefore, he exhorts all believers with practical advice on how to overcome temptation, persevere in trials, treat others without favoritism, tame our tongues, and manage our wealth in God’s way. 

Through the Bible: James

Salvation is a gift that’s freely given to those who want it, but God doesn’t just meet us where we are—He calls us to more. We’re called to a life of action as we walk out our faith! As we study the book of James together, we’ll learn what it looks like to develop a faith that actually works.


Faith That Works

Ever noticed that sometimes when people talk about faith, it feels ambiguous, confusing, or pie-in-the-sky?
 
If you’ve ever felt this way, you’re going to fall in love with James. This is theology expressed in the most practical terms. The writing overflows with doable and down-to-earth teachings on following Jesus.

3) WHAT WE BELIEVE: core Christian doctrines
4) HOW WE LIVE: putting faith into action

James Bible Study

Written by Jesus’ brother, the book of James is a practical guide to living a Christ-centered life. James encourages his readers to remain steadfast in a trial, tame the tongue, and humble themselves before the Lord. The practicality of the letter reminds us that true faith is seen in a life marked by faithful works.

True Faith: A Study in James

The role of teacher in the Christian community is a serious one. 

James 3 - Anyone for Teaching?

Trials are inevitable in life, but what does God offer His children during suffering and trials? Did Jesus leave us on our own to face the hardships of life? Join us as James, Jesus’ brother, shares his wisdom with us.

God’s Help for Our Trials

Wisdom is more than intelligence or insight. It is not simply mental but moral. It is understanding how to live God’s way in God’s world and then acting on that. Among the New Testament epistle writers, James is especially concerned that we take hold of God’s wisdom. As we put our faith in a gracious Father, He will give us the wisdom to walk in a way that pleases Him.

An Invitation to Wisdom

James, the half-brother of Jesus, wasn’t one of Jesus’s twelve disciples. But as the Church grew after Jesus’s death and resurrection, he became one of the pillars of the Church. There's a lot we can learn from James about living out our faith in this Bible Reading Plan!

James: Model of an Authentic Christian Life

Do you want to read, understand, and love the Scriptures? Often, we want to read but don't know where to start. This plan is a monthly guide to reading the entire Bible in a year. This one-year plan will help you read and understand the entire New Testament, Psalms, and Proverbs in a very simple way.

Daily Reading Plan With Christian Mael (December)

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

What is an Anchoring Time? It's time spent focused on encountering God through reading the Bible. Join us as we read through James! This New Testament letter is filled with wisdom for living that helps us be more like Jesus.

Anchoring Time - James

The letter of James challenges, confronts and dives deep into what it means to be a Christ-follower. In this plan, we will dive deep into the wisdom that this letter brings forward. My prayer for you is that this letter will be a mirror to your soul as Christ is revealed through the Word of God.

Wisdom From James

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

Have you been occupied by the pursuit of wealth at the expense of your relationships? James teaches us that the pursuit of wealth at the cost of relationships is spiritual adultery and idolatry.  Through the next four days, we will learn how to repent of our failings, submit to God, and allow Him to lift us up.

James 4 - Submit Yourself to God

Vance K. Jackson leads readers in this powerful wisdom-filled devotional. Before you speak, choose to listen to the heart of the matter. Before you abruptly make a move, choose to hear all the facts. Before you proceed to execute, choose to listen to wise counsel. Before you pursue, pray and seek God for His instruction. Let God lead your heart as you read this life-transforming message. 

Swift to Hear and Slow to Speak

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

Vance K. Jackson leads readers in this powerful, life-transforming devotional. Submit your ways to God. Submit your gifts, talents and abilities to God. Submit your heart to Him. Submit your life to God. Submit every area of your life over to God. Submit to His Plan. Submit to His Purpose. Pursue Christ and He will lead and establish your path.

Submit To God

No one wants to waste their time.  We only get one life to live and we want to make the most of it.  This extends to our walk with Christ.  No one who follows Christ wants to have a worthless faith.  The book of James provides wisdom for believers on how to have a vibrant faith that provides relief and comfort to our world. 

Worthless Christianity

How should we respond to life’s trials? James’ letter delivers the answer: whatever comes, choose to live by faith. James digs into our struggles with temptations, unsound speech, conflicts, hardships and injustice. Trials are not meant to keep us weak and worried, but to make us strong. God-given faith includes power to transform our thoughts, priorities, decisions and relationships.

James: Verse by Verse With Bible Study Fellowship

James focuses on our attitudes, behaviours and speech as Christians. In 7 days the book of James will challenge you to think, speak, and live more like Christ, as we explore core contemporary topics such as; wisdom, the use of slang, faith, prayer, the function of trials, sin and so much more. Bible challenges go beyond reading as we share our thoughts via #JamesChallenge.

James Challenge

Limitless

James. Half-brother of Jesus and leader in the early church. Over the next 5 days, we will make our way through the book of James and draw out the wisdom scattered through each chapter. Each day as we unlock a new chapter, we will explore how James’ wisdom can help us in our lives as followers of Jesus.

Lessons From James

Examine the book of James in three parts: the test of faith, the characteristics of faith, and the triumph of faith. Faith without works cannot be called faith. Faith without works is dead, and a dead faith is worse than no faith at all. Faith must be there, but it must be more. It must inspire action. Throughout his epistle to Jewish believers, James integrates true faith and everyday practical experience by stressing that true faith must manifest itself in works of faith. 

Tests And Triumphs Of Faith: James

James often is compact in length but overflows with powerful lessons on godly living. In this Love God Greatly study, take a look into God’s wisdom when it comes to suffering, the power of prayer, the importance of controlling the tongue, and the danger of wealth. James challenges us to not only talk the talk, but walk the walk; to live out our faith in a bold pursuit of holiness. 

Love God Greatly James

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

James.  A 21-day reading plan by Doxa Deo.

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.

Join us on this seven day plan to see how James preaches the gospel to us, calling us to live transformed lives that come from God’s generous gift of wisdom. 

James: Wisdom From Above

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.

Watching The Tongue 

Get a fresh perspective on the practical wisdom of James. Brothers and sisters from Africa share about children at risk, "tongue meat", favoring the rich, healing, and more.

7-Day Reset: James

James offers practical advice on Christian living and in this unique, 5-day study you will be invited to apply proven Scripture engagement methods to better understand what James is saying and how to apply it to your life.

Excerpts are from The Abide Bible, which provides various Scripture engagement tools--including Praying Scripture, Journaling, Contemplating, Picture It, and Engage Through Art--to help you meet God in God's Word so He can transform your life. 

Abide: Engaging the Book of James

The Epistle of James is an intensely practical book for readers of every age. James' original audience had professed faith in Christ, but many were not living lives that reflected their beliefs. To address this disparity, James dealt with real-world issues that still speak to us today. This series looks at the background, structure and content of the book of James and explores the wisdom and practical instruction in James that remain relevant for modern readers.

The Epistle Of James

The book of James provides practical wisdom for living God’s way in God’s world. Over the next 14-days, we will examine James’ exhortation for us to look like true believers. There are real rewards in giving this book attention and seeking to apply it to our lives. It has application as to how we might relate to materialism, consumerism and individualism – which make it incredibly relevant to our culture.

THE WISDOM OF JAMES: For Life In God's World

No one reads the book of James and thinks, “So what does that have to do with me?” Unlike many of the New Testament letters that were written to one specific church, James is writing instructions to Christians all over. During this 14-day plan, we will be challenged and encouraged by the book of James’ practical and timely message.

Surfing Through James

James is a letter that deals in hard truths and tough love. It’s written to a church with problems to which we can all relate.  Broken relationships, suffering, temptation and divided hearts are all addressed in this practical book.  

The author writes with great love and compassion to his struggling readers, urging them to remember what they believe, to live it out and encourage them to keep going.

James: More Grace

For James, Christians (that is, followers of his half-brother) should reflect the character of their God. And what we find in this letter is not works and more works as sometimes thought to be. On the contrary it is a letter infused by God’s character, with the intention of making God-shaped people living in the world.

The Wisdom of Humility

Deeper into Scripture is a methodology of scripture reading that instructs, encourages and equips people to read God’s Word daily and deeply. To accomplish this we have created a unique four-fold method of bible reading that directs the individual to read a short passage of scripture four times. Each reading is done with a different question, instruction or objective to be considered. This repetitive reading and instruction takes us deeply into the Word of God and draws us closer to Him.

Deeper Into Scripture: James

The Epistle of James has so much to offer us as followers of Jesus today. It was originally written to Jewish Christians spread all over the ancient world. The message is straight to the point, practical, and challenging. Wherever we find ourselves following Jesus, this letter can help us realize how our spiritual and practical life should be one in the same.
