Synopsis
This five-session study of James focuses on how Christians are called to live out their faith commitment. Lessons explore how faith grows out of trials endured and temptations overcome; how Christians live with integrity in their relationships; the affirmation that faith and good works are inseparable; how to act with the gentle, peaceable and caring wisdom that comes from above; and ways to deepen our capacity and strengthen our resolve to do right. Each chapter includes a purpose statement, the printed Bible passage, a core verse, a modern situation that the Bible passage can help resolve, formative guidance on the modern situation presented by the text, questions for personal reflection, and a closing prayer. An accompanying Teacher Book with tips for preparing the lesson, Bible background, a step-by-step lesson plan, and optional methods for each session is available. (separate teacher book #0687095670)
