Impact Thursday October 7th

Greetings!

Here are the questions for our James 2 Study on October 7th. We'll meet at our usual spot at the usual time: 700 Santa Cruz Ave., Menlo Park at 7:00 PM.

Favoritism James 2:1-14

1. Who is the recipient of this letter? How does James address the reader in verse 5?

2. What are the three charges that James brings against the reader?

3. Why is favoritism a sin? What are ways that we show favoritism today?

Faith and Deeds James 2:14-26

4. Why is faith without deeds dead? What are some real life examples of deeds we can do today? Why is it so hard to do the deeds?

5. In the book of Romans that we are saved through faith not works, how do we reconcile this with James 2:14?

6. James is a different author than the apostle Paul. James uses the word “works” very differently than Paul. How would James define “works?”
