Can I get a "Hallelujah" that Jesus set us free from the Mosaic Law? Without his great sacrifice, we'd still be busting our backsides trying to follow 613 rules. Can you even imagine??

However, just because we've been set free, God still has ONE Royal Law that we must follow.

Within 2 minutes, you will discover:

• What is the Royal Law that we are to live by?

BIBLE STUDY PODCAST

Major class divisions occurred in the Middle East during the time of James' writing. The rich were guilty of oppressing the Christians. They would take them to court, abuse them, and take advantage of them.

James addresses the fact that these early church members, who were mainly poor people, were going out of their way to treat these wealthy people good.

But the truth is these were the very people who were treating the poor people cruelly. 

In 2 Minutes you will discover:

1. How the Greek word for "dishonor" reveals a different shade of meaning to how we treat the poor
2. How the Wealthy Roman's exploited the poor during the 1st Century
3. How God does not show favoritism to anyone

Have you ever been talking with someone and they had a piece of food stuck in your teeth? It's like you want to tell them, but you don't want to embarrass them. Right?

Now, let's reverse that situation. Have you ever looked into the mirror and noticed spinach in your own teeth, but didn't do anything about it? Well, today James is going to be using that same analogy when it comes to our Bible Study habits. 

James 1:22-24 paints an interesting word picture of how many of us study God’s Word. I hate to admit it, but I’ve been this person many times. 

Today, we look at the history of mirrors, our body posture when we look into it, and other crazy facts from this verse. 
 
 In under 2 minutes, you will learn:

• How the word “listen” in the Greek language deepens our understanding of this verse
• How the placement of the mirror at the time of this writing helps you picture what James is teaching
• How to know if you’re this person James is talking about
