James - Week 1

Written By Stephanie Dover

Discussion Questions

  • Read James 1:1-18

  • What’s the difference between a trial and something that is simply necessary and hard?

  • What were a couple of the observations about trials that we talked about in verse 2?

  • What were the three sources of pressure against the purposes of God? Where have you seen these at work in your life?

  • We said, “The goal of the Christian life is to get more of God.” How is this goal different from a shallow view of Christianity?

  • What were the three things we need in a season of trial? Talk about examples where one of these has been especially helpful to you.
