What a great ay to kick off our study in James - with an in depth look into what is wisdom, knowledge, and understanding. We dove into Proverbs 2, 3 and 4.

I've attached my notes from our study in Week 1 - feel free to download reference what we discussed last night!

What type of temptations come from our own fleshly desire?

What kind of season of patience/waiting do you see yourself currently in and how can you be intentional with God through it?

Why is a person who believes in God but doubts described as being double-minded and unstable in all his ways? How can you recognize this pattern in your prayer life?

No matter the length of your relationship with the Lord, be it just recently or a lifetime, what piece of wisdom have you gained in trusting the Lord with trials and temptations in your life?

When James gives us the picture of the poor man versus the rich man, we discussed the attitude of the heart irregardless of financial status. Is there another application you can see of this concept where the attitude of the heart is important?

The title of this week’s lesson is “We’re not immune” - what does that mean to you and how will you keep that a part of your daily prayers?

Do you have a particular recurrent issue that you are constantly fighting against? What is the strategy you have right now to deal with it?

What is one applicable learning from this lesson that you will take away and put into action this week?

How has God demonstrated the freedom He has given us in the choices we make?

James talks about showing partiality between a rich man and a poor man. What is another example of partiality in our lives?

In what ways can you actively change how you deal with specific situations that cause you to not be quick to listen, slow to speak and slow to anger?

Think about the last line in James 2:14 “For judgment is without mercy to the one who has shown no mercy. Mercy triumphs over judgment.” What is one way you can show mercy in your life or what is one experience where mercy did triumph over judgment?

It is faith that looks not to self, but to Jesus Christ.

It is faith that agrees with God’s word, both inwardly and with words.

It is faith that in itself is not a work that deserves reward from God; in this sense it is simply refusing to think God is a liar, and that in itself is not a good work, simply the absence of a sinful work.

It is faith grounded in what Jesus did on the cross and by the empty tomb.

It is faith that will naturally be expressed in repentance and good works.

It is faith that may sometimes doubt; yet the doubts are not bigger than the faith nor are they more permanent than the faith. This faith can say, “Lord I believe; help my unbelief.”

It is faith that wants others to come to the same faith.

It is faith that says more than “Lord, Lord” as in Matthew 7:21-23

It is faith that not only hears the word of God but does it, as in Matthew 7:24-27

- David Guzik

How can I put my faith into action better?

Where can I be slow to anger, slow to speak and quick to listen? And what do I recognize in my life that I need to ask God to change?

What temptations keep resurfacing that are trying to overtake me? What do I need to give to the Lord tonight?

What fruit of the Spirit am I lacking in?  Love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, and self-control?

Or simply just asking for a fresh filling of the Holy Spirit to refresh, renew, and re-energize you?
