Yesterday [Saturday] we began our new message series on the Book of James. If you’d like to join me in reading the book of James and some selected texts that relate to this book, here is the reading plan for week one. I’ll be posting four weeks worth of daily readings. Feel free to email me if you have any questions.
Day One - James places great emphasis on the “fruits” of faith. To get a feel for the Jewish roots of this belief, read Leviticus 19:11-18. You will want to keep this text fresh in your mind as we move throughout the book of James.
Day Two - Read James 1:1-18 : When was the last time you experienced blessing in the midst of trouble?
Day Three - Read James 1:19-27 : What is James saying about “how faith works?”
Day Four - Read James 2:1-13 : How does this text connect with the Leviticus text we read on Monday?
Day Five - Read James 2:14-26 : What does this text say about the nature of faith?
