James 3.1-12Doers of the Word - Week 3 of 5
Five weeks in which we use the Letter of James to celebrate God’s gifts and consider our response.
Responsibility
We continue our consideration of the Letter of James as we think about the impact of our words and actions.
This week's reading, James 3.1-12, provides an opportunity to:
- understand that responsibility is a response to gift (AAA & CYP)
- realise that learning involves asking questions and making mistakes (AAA & CYP)
- reflect on the power of words to build up or destroy (AAA & CYP)
- learn from the Jewish wisdom tradition. (AAA)
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.
