James Bible Study

Last week, we wrapped up our Heaven book study, and this week we started a study in the book of James. We decided to work through this section of Scripture using the inductive Bible study method (observation, interpretation, application), so we will be using the same questions every week as we progress through James. "What is the passage about?" "What do I learn from this passage?" "How can I apply what I've learned to my life?" "Write a brief sentence summarizing this passage."

James 1:1-18 instructed us to utilize trials in our life to form godly character (patience, endurance, praying in faith without ever doubting God...) and reminded us how Very Good God is. He does not tempt us, is the giver of every good thing, is the source of wisdom, is unchanging, and has given us the word of truth!

Eight adults joined Rob and I in our home for this time of learning and growing. Please keep us in your prayers as we continue this study for the next 7 Tuesdays from 7-8pm (Alaska Time!).
