James: Practical, Everyday Christian Living


In five short chapters James covers a number of important everyday topics. As you can see below, each chapter is packed with powerful everyday information designed to help us live for God.
  1. GODLY WISDOM 
  2. FAITH AND WORKS 
  3. POWER OF THE TONGUE 
  4. SUBMIT TO GOD 
  5. LIVING WITH FAITH 
When you compare God’s concept of wisdom with the view of the world, you see two totally different lifestyles emerge. Worldly wisdom leads to a hunger for things and selfish ambitions dominate life.

Godly wisdom on the other hand causes us to have a faith in God and it directs our lifestyle toward people rather than things. As we will see Sunday, Godly wisdom changes the things we say as well as the deeds we do. It also provides us with a totally different attitude toward the nature and purpose of human life.

See you Sunday morning.
