Last week, we completed our journey through James. I would like to take one more week in James to look back, reflect, and hide the truths we have learned from the book of James in our hearts.
1. For each theme James taught, write down a key take-away. Flip back through your Bible and the study to refresh your memory.

2. Which of the above key take-aways was the most convicting? Which was the most encouraging?
3. How has your understanding of one or more of the above themes (doctrines) changed during this study?
4. At the beginning of the study, we learned that James reflected teaching from the Old Testament and Jesus. How did you see evidence of it?
5. Although James does not share the Gospel in the obvious ways Paul does, how have you seen the Gospel in the book of James? How does this change the way you respond to the 50+ commands in James?1.
6. What “God is…” or “God does…” truths did you find?
7. James’ unifying theme was genuine faith. How would you evaluate your faith in light of James’ teaching?
8. How do you need to grow in light of your evaluation? How will you put into practice at least one thing? Be specific.
