James: Growing UpGrowing Pains: James 1:1April 19, 2015Please turn to James 1Michael\u2019s Personal Goal: to be encouraged for those who seem far from the faithMy brothers and sisters, if people say they have faith, but do nothing, their faith is worth nothing. Can faith like that save them? James 2:14 (NCV) App: Faith is not just what we know, but what we do.James: the half-brother of JesusFor even his own brothers did not believe in Him. John 7:5\u2026went to take charge of Him, for they said, \u201cHe is out of His mind.\u201d Mark 3:21b Then He appeared to James\u2026 (ref. 1Corinthians 15:1-8)App: Have you given up on someone who is an antagonist of the faith? God has a way of revealing Himself far beyond our greatest efforts. \u201cWho are my mother and my brothers?\u201d34 Then he looked at those seated in a circle around Him and said, \u201cHere are my mother and my brothers! 35 Whoever does God\u2019s will is my brother and sister and mother.\u201dMark 3:33b-35App: What are you doing with Jesus? Jesus answered, \u201cThe work of God is this: to believe in the one he has sent.\u201d John 6:29Yet to all who did receive him, to those who believed in his name, he gave the right to become children of God\u201413 children born not of natural descent, nor of human decision or a husband\u2019s will, but born of God. John 1:12-13My command is this: Love each other as I have loved you. 13 Greater love has no one than this: to lay down one\u2019s life for one\u2019s friends. John 15:12-13V 1: Servant: Dou-los: bond servant, slave (ref. Philippians 2:7b, John 15:15)V 1: The 12 Tribes-figurative: for all Jews of the dispersion wherever you areWhat is God\u2019s Spirit speaking into your life today? How must you respond?
