James 1:22 says "But don’t just listen to God’s word. You must do what it says. Otherwise, you are only fooling yourselves."
Pastors Terry Tatum and Chris Ackerman have read a lot of Scripture and are convinced that everything in the Bible can be better understood by discussing it with others. In this first episode of our Love God, Love Others podcast, Terry and Chris discuss the Letter of James and its key message: that Christian living requires us to both KNOW and DO what needs to be done.
Discussion questions:
1) Can you think of a time when you were really impressed with someone’s actions or words? Why? And what did it tell you about their character and who they were?
2) Can you think of a time when you were shocked by someone’s poor actions or words (including perhaps a social media post)? What did it tell you about their character?
3) Christian living requires us to KNOW what needs to be done. How do we know what needs to be done?
4) Christian living requires us to DO what needs to be done. How do we know how to do it?
