The Book of James – Chapter 1

Posted by Jonathan Bingham on August 14, 2016 under Audio, Bible study, Multiweek, Series | Be the First to Comment

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.

Palm Sunday – The Last Week of Jesus’ Life

Posted by Jonathan Bingham on March 20, 2016 under Audio, Bible study, Single | Be the First to Comment

This lesson is a detailed timeline of the last week of Jesus’ early ministry, and will likely be very controversial for those who are stuck on a traditional Good Friday crucifixion.  But, I believe it is the best fitting explanation of all of the biblical data.
