From the first chapter of James, Pastor Dan Dumas (Senior Vice President of Southern Seminary in Louisville, KY) offers six disciplines to aid us in the effort to practice "expository listening" -- applying the Word of God to our lives.
James explains the true source and cause of our sin.
In a world opposed to Christianity, often the question arises, is God really good? James' instruction on the warning about, source of, and example of goodness helps believers to answer this question with an emphatic yes and amen.
They are common to every human and we face them everyday. But how are we to respond to trials and temptations? James provides a helpful commentary on these two topics in these verses and the end message is clear: endure and live, or curse God and die.
James is known in Scripture as a pillar in the first century church. Why would he refer to himself as a servant? See in this text how a believer is characterized by their submission to the Master, Jesus Christ.
Contrary to popular belief, wisdom is not primarily a function of what one knows or has. True wisdom is bestowed by God and manifests itself in humility, purity, and good works.
The real reason for conflicts in relationships is discussed -- along with the biblical solution. A slide presentation is utilized.
