Taming the Toungue

Hey guys,

This Sunday we will be continuing our study through James by exposing James 3 to the group.

  This should be a good and challenging study as it is encouraging and convicting at the same time. But hey that's what we are all about right? Letting the Word of God speak to us for change? right? okay good!

Also last Wednesday we had a quick little intro into Ephesians 6: 10-20 on the "whole armor of God."

       Any thoughts?

               Any striking feelings?

                        Lets get a discussion going on this topic as we go through our weeks together and see what this passage can mean for us.

See you guys Sunday morning!

BOOK STUDY!!! James

Hey guys,
 I'm very excited to let you know what we will be doing for the next FIVE WEEKS!!! We as a youth ministry are gonna be going through the whole book of James during our Sunday morning meetings. James has 5 chapters and we will complete this study in 5 weeks. Because we are doing a chapter a week it wont be the most verse by verse intense study, but going through them chapter at a time will make it possible for us to dive into the major themes and ideas of the chapters in light of the overall theme of the letter that James had for the Church and what he has for us today!!

Theme:
"James’s primary theme is living out one’s faith, being a doer and not just a hearer of the word. This theme is developed in view of the social conflict between rich and poor and the spiritual conflict between factions in the church. James rebukes his readers for their worldliness and challenges them to seek divine wisdom in working out these problems and getting right with God"

I will be leading chapters 1,3, and 5 while our friend Eric will be leading the teaching and discussions with chapters 2 and 4.

            In Preparation for this study it is encouraged that you guys read this book on your own time as we go through it. It's a very powerful book and James will have a lot for us.
