Who was James, the author. Imagining what it is like to be the brother of Jesus.

Jesus is the bread from heaven. Whoever comes to Him will never hunger (for God's approval) and whoever believes in Him will never thirst (for acceptance from God).

It is not wisdom to surround yourself with people who affirm what you do. Fellowshid begins with Christ when we are saved. Fellowship in the Spirit is made up of building up one another. We need fellowship with the right people. It's important to avoid unequal yokes.

These Jews studied the scriptures, but the word of God did not dwell in them. The love of God was not in them. I was just like them.

The significance of the gifts of the Holy Spirit

Paul's last written words. He reminds Timothy that the Lord will judge in the end, so Timothy must be ready to preach the word with all clarity even when it steps on peoples toes. Then he spoke of how his imprisonment was going and the difficulties he faced. He mentions many people, some who helped, and some who have turned away.

The coming of the Spirit and the significance of the accompanying signs.

Far from contradicting God, Jesus was working with God, not as a servant, but equal in authority with the Father. He gives life to whomsoever He will, even as the Father does.

The warning of the dark days of the last times. The need to avoid the characteristics that will be prominent in the last days.

Paul presents a list of characteristics of people in the last days, people who resist truth. To live godly in the last days will result in persecution. Hold on to what you know is true in the word of God.
