Our class decided it would be cool to change our tack a bit and do a Bible book study instead of our typical topical studies. I’m not sure they’re still glad they did because we (I) are taking quite a bit of time going through, and I’ve gotten a bit too technical in the presentation. I think we’re doing well with a better balance of background, application, and velocity in Chapter 2. Here are the notes divided into sections.
In our class times together, passages and themes from the book of James kept coming up and we decided it would be cool to change our tack a bit and do a Bible book study instead of our typical topical studies. I’m not sure they’re still glad they did because we are (I am) taking quite a bit of time going through, and I’ve gotten a bit too technical in the presentation. You’ll notice as we get close to the end of chapter 1 that I started doing better with that, and I think we’re doing quite well with a better balance of background, application, and velocity in Chapter 2 (next post). Here are the notes divided into four sections along with a bonus (no extra charge!) simple worksheet that I created for my kids since we are studying it with them in parallel.

BTW, if you’re interested in the discussion in the introduction about the actual name of the author of the book of James, you should also listen to the first eight or nine minutes of the Palm Sunday lesson, since that topic came up at the beginning of our time together that next week.
James Introduction (Pt. 2 of 2) – March 27, 2017 – AAC, 39 min., 19MB
This lesson is a multi-week study of Colossians 3:12-14. It is a wonderful passage that focuses on how to get along together, a truly needful message for the church today. The eight virtues Paul lists in the passage are: compassion, kindness, humility, meekness, long-suffering, forbearance, forgiveness, and love.
This is an expository look at Titus 2:1-10, where Paul tells Titus how he should be instructing the new believers in Crete to live and behave. There are six groups of people he highlights: older men, older women, younger women, younger men, ministers, and employees.
I updated the PDF in August of 2013 when I noticed some mistakes. For all of the thousands who have downloaded it, please get the updated version.
