Practically James

For this study, we won’t be taking a word-for-word exploration as we have done with other letters. James doesn’t write in Paul’s straight lines but bounces between topics. We brush up against many of them early, returning to them again later with greater detail. There are seven peaks of practical wisdom we will explore in this study: wisdom, words, judging, worldly matters, spiritual works, prayer, and patience.

In each, we’ll strive to uncover the trouble, the joy, and the endurance. Or, to put it another way – how to live out the life we have in Christ practically.
