Bold Letters for Courageous Disciples Fall 2008 – Spring 2009

I keep a file of treasured letters as a pastor. Every once in a while, I receive a piece of correspondence that is too precious to throw away. Sometimes, when I’ve had a particularly difficult week, I pull a random letter from this file to receive the encouragement and remember the goodness of God in all circumstances. The General Letters of the New Testament are a lot like my file of letters. Many of these letters talk about what it means for God to draw near to us. Others talk about answers to prayer. Some of them contain affirmations of the Spirit’s blessing, but many contain straight talk about the way things are. If we will allow them, these letters can shape our lives as ―a chosen race, a royal priesthood, a holy nation, God’s own people‖ (1 Pt. 2:9). These are letters from the heart, many from first-hand encounters with the incarnation of our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ. Paul may be the most famous correspondent in the New Testament Epistles, but we would do well to sit up and pay attention to the likes of James, Peter, John and Jude. So let’s dwell on this file of letters for awhile. Let’s remember and celebrate and discover anew the wisdom from the earliest followers of Jesus. With great anticipation in Christ,

The Rev. Richard Kannwischer Senior Pastor

General Letters / Overview / Introduction September 11, 2008 For James, the mature Christian is someone who … Endures with joy 1:2-18, 5:7-11 Believes with action 1:22-27, 2:14-26 Speaks with wisdom 3:1-18, 4:13-17, 5:12 Gives with mercy 2:1-12, 5:1-6 Prays with humility 4:1-12, 5:13-20

1

Endures with joy—James 1:2-18, 5:7-11 September 18, 2008 1. What is joy? What are other New Testament passages on the subject of joy?

2. Why does James advise that we should endure our trials with joy? When have you encountered a person who lived with joy in the midst of suffering?

3. What does James mean by being ―double-minded‖ in 2:7? How does doubt diminish our joyful endurance? Describe a time when you have doubted a friend, a coworker, a family member or God. How did the doubting affect the relationship?

4. Why is it important to believe that it is not God who tempts us? According to James, from where does evil come? Where does it lead us?

2

5. Those who endure faithfully receive the ―crown of life‖ (1:12). What does this crown signify? (See also Rev. 2:10, 2 Tim. 4:8)

6. In chapter 5, James picks up the theme of endurance again. This time he connects it to the second coming of Jesus. What does eschatology have to do with perseverance here and now? How are we to wait for the Lord’s coming?

7. Why does James refer to Job in 5:11 as an example of the Lord’s purpose in perseverance?

8. How can this group be praying for you as you face your trials and struggles?

3

Believes with action—James 1:22-27, 2:14-26 September 25, 2008 1. James says that the perfect law gives liberty (1:25). Most people view the law as constraining, not freeing. How can this be so? How does God’s law provide freedom instead of bondage?

2. How do James’ words on faith and works connect with Jesus’ parable of the sower? (see Mark 4)

3. Is James advocating for salvation by works in this passage? How are we saved as people of God? How do we reconcile this with the words of Paul in Ephesians 2:8-11?

4. James describes hearing without acting as deceitful (1:22), senseless and barren (2:20) How? Why?

4

5. James is particularly critical of those who focus purely on the spiritual needs of the poor, hereby neglecting their physical needs. Why is this so prevalent in Christian ministry? What can we do to rectify it?

6. How is Abraham an example of faith in action? How is Rahab?

7. What does friendship with God look like?

8. What is the inevitable result of a faith that does not work? What is one way you can put your faith to work this month?

5

Speaks with wisdom—James 3:1-18, 4:13-17, 5:12 October 2, 2008 1. Why do you think teachers are held to a higher standard of conduct? How does this advice from James inform ordination standards for leaders within the church?

2. James describes the tongue as small yet mighty. When have you experienced potency of words for good or for ill?

3. Why is holding your tongue such a difficult thing to do? What advice would you give a teenager on how to control what you say?

4. Where else does the Bible talk about the dangers of speech?

6

5. For James, what is the connection between wisdom and speaking?

6. What corruptive role does arrogance play on our speech (4:13-17)?

7. Why are Christians not to take oaths? What is the danger? How does James’ advice connect with Jesus’ wisdom in the Sermon on the Mount?

8. Is it harder for you to say ―yes‖ or ―no‖ well? How can we do this more faithfully as Christfollowers?

7

Gives with mercy—James 2:1-12, 5:1-6 October 9, 2008 1. What is favoritism? Where do you see favoritism today in our culture?

2. What does it mean to ―love your neighbor as you love yourself‖ according to James 2:8? Compare and contrast what this commandment says in context by examining Leviticus 19:18, Matthew 5:43, Matthew 22:39, Romans 13:9, and Galatians 5:14.

3. According to James the spiritual danger of favoritism is that we pretend to be judge of all life (2:4). Describe a time when you have felt judged by another.

4. The only thing that triumphs over judgment is mercy (2:13). How does mercy trump judgment?

8

5.

James says that if we do not give mercy, we will not receive it. Why? What are other parts of the New Testament that refer to the necessity of giving with mercy so that we might be forgiven?

6. James is particularly harsh toward those who are rich. Why is he so frustrated with the wealthy in 5:1-6?

7. What is the New Testament’s view of money? How did Jesus deal with the wealthy?

8. For James, our attitude toward money is a matter of faith. In 2:1, he speculates that some who claim to be followers of Jesus do not really believe? What is the connection between faith and wealth? How then are we to live as wealthy Christians?

9

Prays with humility—James 4:1-12, 5:13-20 October 16, 2008 1. According to James, where do conflicts come from? How does this connect to what Jesus says in the Sermon on the Mount in Matthew 5:21-30?

2. What does it mean to say in 4:2 that ―we do not have because we do not ask?‖ How do we ―ask wrongly‖ in prayer?

3. Reread 4:6. What is the relationship between humility and grace?

4. James 4:8 states that when we draw near to God, he draws near to us. When have you felt closest to God?

10

5. In chapter five, James calls Christians to pray in any and all circumstances. Is it more challenging for you to pray in times of suffering or in times of cheer? Why?

6. What is the interplay between healing and forgiveness? Where else does the New Testament talk about this?

7. How is Elijah a model for humble prayer?

16

4. What was the example that Christ left us?

5. When is suffering good? When is it bad? Should we seek suffering? When should we escape suffering?

6. Where should we find our self-worth (our beauty)? How do you do that?

Introduction to John January 29, 2008

Introduction to the Disciple John Gospel and Letter Writer The best way to introduce the Letters of John is to first look at the author as he is revealed in the Gospels, and then spend time reading the letters as just that – three distinct units, letters written to a group of young believers trying resist the temptation to listen to the false prophets of their day seeking to draw them away from what they know to be true. We live in a very similar world! We have a lot to gain by spending time looking at John’s letters.

28

Acts 8:14-17 (more mature reaction to Samaritans)

So far in our study of 1 John, we have been challenged to walk in the light, to walk in the truth, to believe and love, to abide and love, and now to believe and obey.

In the preparations, the young women cross stitched the following saying: ―Not flesh of my flesh, nor bone of my bone, and yet miraculously my own. Never forget for a single minute, you didn’t grow under my heart but in it.‖ Each of us who names the name of Jesus has been adopted as sons and daughters of the living God, growing in his heart of love. We are each brothers and sisters in the church. Every Sunday is like a family reunion.
