Thursday (4/30/20)

We are going to write out a couple verses and specifically  focus on letting them dwell deeply in us. Write out James 2:8 and James 2:15-17. As you sit in these verses, is the Holy Spirit saying anything that you want to heed?

Wednesday (4/29/20)

Read James 2:14-26 Check out this old song : Why is faith useless without works? What do you think is the answer to the question James poses in verse 14? How do you see these two at play in your own life? Ask the Father to show you areas where Your actions do not line up with the faith that …
