WE BEGIN TOMORROW ---BIBLE STUDY---- RESOURCES FOR THE JAMES BIBLE STUDY

Hello ladies, our monthly Bible study begins tomorrow! Yippee! We are moving right along, and what better way to be accountable on Bible study than to join a group of other women around the world that are also doing this study. So before we begin, here are some available resources as promised. I've created this study guide as a book for anyone to purchase from Amazon but I've also made it available to download for free by joining my blog or joining the group at ladiesletspray.com, I will automatically email a new pdf study each month via your email.






The book of James was a letter written to the Jewish Christians who had been scattered throughout the Mediterranean world because of persecution. James was Jesus’ half-brother and a leader in the Jerusalem church. James wrote this letter to expose hypocritical practices and to teach right Christian behavior. It is not enough to talk about the Christian faith but we must actually live it. The proof of our Christian faith is a genuine change in our lifestyle, decisions and actions. As Christians we are called to be more like Christ, but too often Christians are great at putting on a mask on Sunday while contradicting the gospel for the rest of the week. James wants believers to put their Christian faith to action, not compromising with the world but allowing the renewing of our minds to transform us. “What good is it, dear brothers and sisters, if you say you have faith but don’t show it by your actions? Can that kind of faith save anyone?” James 2:14
Keynotes:
  1. Humility
  2. Testing of Your Faith
  3. Listening and Doing
  4. Faith without Good Deeds is Dead
  5. Controlling the Tongue
  6. Temptations
  7. Slow to Anger
  8. Warning against Prejudice
  9. Warning against Judging Others
  10. Warning against Boasting
  11. Warning to the Rich
  12. Warning against Worldliness
  13. Seek Godly Wisdom
  14. The Power of Prayer
  15. Restore Wandering Believers



The book of James emphasizes on faith in action. Faith is more than a word, but an action and call to live out our Christian faith by righteous living. We are called to serve with compassion, love for one another, speak lovingly, and honestly, and to live in obedience to God’s commandments. We are called to bring Heaven to earth by teaching and bringing more people to Christ. If we claim to love God and believe the Word of God, we ought to live a Holy and consecrated life for God. We shouldn’t read the Bible like any other novel but we must apply it as our way of life. 

 If you are like me and prefer the actual book of the study- you may go over to Amazon to purchase it today. Here is the link to purchase all of the study  Here. This month we've also invited the men to join us so we've created a study for the girls and one for the boys. You may grab one for your hubby or a male figure in your life.

With the holidays approaching, I would like to introduce our new prayer and study journal. This journal will accompany your studies each month as well as motivate your prayer life. 
You may also search for this HERE 
And grab one for hubby too- the male version that is. 





Last month, I moved unexpectedly back to the east coast and I was unable to do as much updates as I wanted to for the book of Matthew, but by God's grace this month is much settled and I plan on updating daily or as much as possible.

I will also like to suggest you form small groups of 4 to 5 girls in your area, get together once a week to discuss the study.

Remember to pray before each study and ask the Holy Spirit to guide and see you through it.

Be blessed.
With love ---Joyfully Osato
