Chapter 1
That testings and trials bring opportunity for testing your faith so welcome those trials with open arms.
That real pure religion is caring for orphans, widows, and keeping yourself from being corrupted by the world.
Chapter 2
Don’t be involved in the sin of favoritism, don’t discriminate among people, and obey the Royal Law.
Just as the body is dead and not breathing so is your faith if there are no good works to go along with it.
Chapter 3
If we could control the tongue, we could harness the world
You can’t draw good water from a salty spring.
So, likewise blessings and cursings should not come from the same tongue/heart.
Chapter 4
Don’t you realize that friendship with the world makes you an enemy of God?
God opposes the proud but gives grace to the humble.”
So humble yourselves before God.
Resist the devil, and he will flee from you.
Come close to God, and God will come close to you.

5:1-6
Why do we have to give up our pursuit of pleasure?
people with wealth look like they are having fun
James is reminding us that SELFISH LIFESTYLE inevitably leads to painful consequences
Maybe b/c of our past SELFISH LIFESTYLE we have already suffered pain and emptiness.
REMEMBER: Living a SELFISH LIFESTYLE never yields lasting joy and peace; it always leads to one kind of bondage or another.
When we make God’s will our will—When we make God’s plan our plan—When we follow God the Way we should follow—
We will experience freedom and become a blessing to the people around us.
5:7-11
Just because we have humbly surrendered to Jesus does that mean there will be no more trouble for us?
There will be times of hardship—circumstances that will test our patience.
Never forget there is coming a day that we will have no more pain.
Jesus is coming back for us
IN THE MEANTIME:
we are to bear our suffering with patience.
we must also be patient with one another too.

5:13-18
Why is prayer one of the most powerful tools for you and me?
One reason is because our Father has the power to heal us spiritually, emotionally, and physically.
when we pray , we display our faith that Father can help us.
Prayer is an essential part of the process of surrendering our lives to God.
As we share our needs with one another and pray for one another, God will display his active presence and power in our lives.
Admitting our faults to God and to a trustworthy person is essential to our spiritual growth.
When we share our faults with others, we give them the opportunity to uphold us in prayer.
James is reminding us that confession is an important part of our personal prayer lives.
Likewise, God invites us to admit our faults and failures to him through prayer.
5:19-20
Why should we help others to come back to God who have wandered off?
When we and others bring our sins and shortcomings before God, he responds powerfully.
We then are displaying our faith by sharing our problems with him.
This is not a weak thing—this is a very strong righteous thing to do.
Bringing the lost home causes a great rejoicing in Heaven—HALLELUJAH!
