Proper 18

James 2.1-10 (11-13) 14-17

Doers of the Word - Week 2 of 5

Five weeks in which we use the Letter of James to celebrate God’s gifts and consider our response.

Generosity

We continue our consideration of the Letter of James as we explore God’s abundant generosity to all and the Christian call to share all we receive.

This week's reading, James 2.1-10 (11-13) 14-17, provides an opportunity to:

  • reflect on how we respond to the needs of others (AAA & CYP)
  • appreciate the impartiality of God’s generosity and think about how we might practise it. (AAA & CYP)

These resources were first published in Issue 61 September/October 2012. Extracts of these resources have since been republished in the Methodist Bible Month 2017 magazine.
