What does James suggest in preparation for the Harvest? What does he mean by patience and endurance? How does this manifest itself in the way Christians relate to one another? Is the Lord delaying His coming? Why did James use the imagery of the former and latter rain? What might this imagery mean for Christians? This week we study James' views on the Second Coming of Jesus and its implications for Christian living today.
What is the difference between worldly and heavenly wisdom? What forms the basis for both? What is the end goal of all true wisdom? How does worldly wisdom impact the church? Is there a difference between knowledge, understanding, and wisdom? How do we know who is wise and who isn't? This week we explore the true meaning of wisdom in the book of James, and what this wisdom means for us today.
What does the book of James teach about how we use our mouths? James seems to suggest that though the mouth is a small part of our body, it has a great influence.

Why is it so important that we be mindful of the things we say?
