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.

A Father’s Legacy

Posted by Jonathan Bingham on August 31, 2014 under Bible study, Multiweek | Be the First to Comment

For most children, their father will be one of the two greatest influences in their entire lives. Whether that influence is positive or maximized depends upon choices the father makes.

This lesson looks at the impact a father can have on his children by having a great lifelong influence.

(Yes, the lesson had at least two more sections I was planning to add, but decided to go to another topic before finishing it.)
