How does James Impact our lives?
What does it mean in Jas 1 to trust God? Can you recall any attitudes or actions in your recent life that
indicate a lack of trust in God?
How have you experienced a connection between faith and action, as in Jas 2? Is there any situation in
your life in which you sense God prompting you to act according to your faith?
Are there any sorts of unhelpful speech or harmful expression that you find yourself using (compare Jas
3)? Where does that come from? What effects does it have on you and others?
Do you have people in your life with whom you can be honest about both your joys and struggles? Who
can pray for you and who can you pray for? Do you need to talk with someone about any sin in your life?
