Sermon Study Questions
Three general questions for digging deeper:
- What does this text teach us about God?
- What does this text teach us about ourselves?
- If this text is true, what should we do to obey this teaching?
Questions specific to the August 23 sermon from James 4:1-12:
- How common is it for you to judge another believer or speak against that believer behind their back? (in your mind or out loud?) Be honest.
- Why do you think this is such a common experience of all people both inside and outside the church?
- James says that anger stems from wrongly ordered desire within our hearts. What are some of the desires (which may not be evil in themselves) that control your heart and are the source of your anger?
- Why do we blame our circumstances for anger rather than blame our own disordered desires?
- How do we learn to cultivate good desires that work against anger?
Serving Opportunities
There are many serving teams in need of volunteers, and there’s a place for everyone to jump in. Whether you can serve every week or just once in a while, we’d love for you to be part of what God is doing through our church.
