Have you ever wondered what faith looks like in action? This devotional walks you through the Book of James—a letter written by James, who is thought to be the brother of Jesus. As James emphasizes the relationship between faith and works, the next three weeks will be a time for you to grow in spiritual wisdom and practical application as you aim to follow Jesus faithfully.

The Book of James

Have you ever wondered what it would be like to share a bunk bed with Jesus as a kid? The incredible, practical book of James, written by one of Jesus' brothers, gives an inside look at Jesus from a member of his very own family. In this 12-day plan, you will study the writings of James and how he practically presents Jesus as Lord and the object of our faith.

Faith Works: A Study in James

True faith produces fruit. A faith without action and without life change is ultimately a dead faith. The book of James speaks to the realities of a living faith in Jesus—the kind of roll-up-your-sleeves and get-your-hands-dirty discipleship that is borne out of an authentic relationship with the risen Lord. James writes to believers who know suffering, who've faced trials, and who ultimately desire a deep relationship with God.

James 5 - Lessons for Rich Oppressors, Patience in Suffering, and Keeping the Letter of James Alive

James, the half-brother of Jesus writes in his capacity as a pastor to encourage and exhort his people dispersed in the face of difficulties. The primary theme of the letter is on living out one’s faith, being a doer and not just a hearer of the word. Though our context may be different, every single lesson still applies today.

Hearing and Obeying His Word

As Christ's followers, it is our desire to live victorious lives, free of temptation. But we know that we all struggle with it. Let's examine why and how we are tempted and how we can be overcomers. Here is a 7-day plan written by Navaz DCruz that helps us examine our hearts and reflect upon some truths.

Faith That Works

Men often talk a good game, but its our daily walk that shows our true character. In this Bible Study, you'll see how James challenges the church to put their faith to action, but also be encouraged to become a man of complete faith and integrity.

Read through James with Bible teacher, coach, and author Nicole Smithee to receive God’s wisdom for the unique leadership challenges you are facing.

James: Wisdom to Lead: A 5-Day Reading Plan With Nicole Smithee

Most of my family and friends love to receive gifts. Christmas, Easter, birthdays and anniversaries are excuses for my wife and me to give gifts, hugs and words of affirmation. I believe we were designed by God to give and receive gifts. It’s normal and divine. In this reading plan, writer Paul Marc Goulet shares about this topic and what gifts God give us.

Unwrapping the Gifts From God

1) WHO GOD IS: God’s character and nature
2) WHO WE ARE: the identity of humanity and/or believers
3) WHAT WE BELIEVE: core Christian doctrines
4) HOW WE LIVE: putting faith into action

KNOW James

A Journey through the book of James that will teach you to unleash a genuine faith by trading dull complacency for wild confidence. 

Call of the Wild:  a Journey Through the Book of James

The Book of James is a practical guide for Christian living, emphasizing faith in action. It addresses perseverance in trials, wisdom, the power of prayer, and good works as evidence of faith. James warns about the importance of taming the tongue, urging believers to control their speech. With straightforward teachings, it encourages authentic living, demonstrating faith through righteous deeds and a consistent, godly lifestyle.

Once we have understood the glory of Christ, making distinctions among ourselves based on wealth and status is not only absurd; it is a betrayal of Jesus and his gift of new life.

James 2 - Worldly Favouritism

COME CLOSER

In this seven-day plan, you’ll encounter the themes of the new covenant and new wisdom for New Testament believers. Hebrews compares and contrasts Jesus to key Old Testament figures, showing how he is superior and the ultimate revelation of God’s love and mercy. The book of James is one-of-a-kind in the New Testament, sharing wisdom sayings, much like the book of Proverbs, with followers of Jesus.

BibleProject | New Covenant, New Wisdom

New Testament in a Year: October

Pastor Chuck Swindoll explores James 1:2–12 to help you understand, navigate, and even move beyond the troubles in your life. Troubles aren’t random or meaningless.

Life According to James

This is the perfect plan to read through the Book of James in 5 days, with a summary for each chapter.

Read Through James

Wisdom is more than intelligence or insight. It is not simply mental but moral. It is understanding how to live God’s way in God’s world and then acting on that. Among the New Testament epistle writers, James is especially concerned that we take hold of God’s wisdom. As we put our faith in a gracious Father, He will give us the wisdom to walk in a way that pleases Him.

An Invitation to Wisdom

James: Wisdom for Practical Life

In the early church, there was a distorted mindset that Christians, if saved by grace through faith, need not worry about their actions. James responded solemnly with this overarching idea in the letter: faith without works is dead. Therefore, he exhorts all believers with practical advice on how to overcome temptation, persevere in trials, treat others without favoritism, tame our tongues, and manage our wealth in God’s way. 

Through the Bible: James

Not only will this plan help you learn how to study the Bible, but it will also help you face life's adversity head-on and with confidence. 

Daily Discipleship With Chip Ingram: James (Video)

James has a knack for highlighting common mistakes in the Christian life and drawing us back into a humble admission that we need God’s mercy every day. For those of us who feel lethargic in the faith or who fear that Christian progress as of late has been slow, if measurable at all, the letter of James provides real medicine — sometimes difficult to take but always good for you!

James 1 - The Wisdom Of The Brother Of Jesus

Written by Jesus’ brother, the book of James is a practical guide to living a Christ-centered life. James encourages his readers to remain steadfast in a trial, tame the tongue, and humble themselves before the Lord. The practicality of the letter reminds us that true faith is seen in a life marked by faithful works.

Worthless Christianity

Every Good Gift: A 28-Day Advent Devotional

Living in the 21st century as a Christian is hard. So was it for the Jewish believers some 2000 years ago. That’s why James, the half-brother of Jesus, wrote a letter to encourage the believers then to press on in their trials. There's much to learn and take heart from his letter, because the very same lessons still apply today.

Facing Trials & Temptations

James. Half-brother of Jesus and leader in the early church. Over the next 5 days, we will make our way through the book of James and draw out the wisdom scattered through each chapter.

The "Experiencing God in James Bible Study" aims to guide readers through meditative reflections that challenge us to truly look for God in the Scripture. These reflections in turn help us experience God in our day-to-day lives, deepening our relationship with both God and His Word!

Experiencing God in James

Have you been occupied by the pursuit of wealth at the expense of your relationships? James teaches us that the pursuit of wealth at the cost of relationships is spiritual adultery and idolatry.  Through the next four days, we will learn how to repent of our failings, submit to God, and allow Him to lift us up.

James 4 - Submit Yourself to God

The repeated cry of James is that faith apart from works can never be sustained. We should proclaim this truth because faith makes us doers of the Word, not just hearers. Faith keeps us humble, not proud; directs our tongues to bless, not to curse. Faith causes us to preach the good news to every tribe, tongue, and nation. This is the message of James: Faith/Works. Join Matt Chandler for 13 days going verse-by-verse through the book of James.  

James: Faith/Works

In this YouVersion Plan, Eric Petree reveals how we can come to live limitless! God intended for us to live our lives out in ways that defy the ordinary. What does God have planned for you in your life? Is your capacity ready? Are we ready for all that God has for us? Let’s get started!

Limitless

How should we respond to life’s trials? James’ letter delivers the answer: whatever comes, choose to live by faith. James digs into our struggles with temptations, unsound speech, conflicts, hardships and injustice. Trials are not meant to keep us weak and worried, but to make us strong. God-given faith includes power to transform our thoughts, priorities, decisions and relationships.

James: Verse by Verse With Bible Study Fellowship

Examine the book of James in three parts: the test of faith, the characteristics of faith, and the triumph of faith. Faith without works cannot be called faith. Faith without works is dead, and a dead faith is worse than no faith at all. Faith must be there, but it must be more. It must inspire action. Throughout his epistle to Jewish believers, James integrates true faith and everyday practical experience by stressing that true faith must manifest itself in works of faith. 

Tests And Triumphs Of Faith: James

Join us as we journey through the book of James.  James provides us with guidelines for living our lives as faith-filled followers of Christ.   He emphasizes a  faith that works Genuine faith should produce fruit of good works and mature faith means living what you say you believe.

Wisdom From James

This simple plan will take you through the book of James and would be great for individual or group study.

Someone once said, " The tongue has no bones, but is strong enough to break a heart. So be careful with your words."  How true. If even James, the half brother of Jesus, affirmed this truth in his letter some 2000 years ago to Jewish believers dispersed in the face of difficulties, it's time we recognize the power of the tongue.

Watching The Tongue 

Vance K. Jackson leads readers in this powerful, life-transforming devotional. Submit your ways to God. Submit your gifts, talents and abilities to God. Submit your heart to Him. Submit your life to God. Submit every area of your life over to God. Submit to His Plan. Submit to His Purpose. Pursue Christ and He will lead and establish your path.

Submit To God

Vance K. Jackson leads readers in this powerful devotional. God cannot be tempted with evil — neither does God tempt man. Let no man say when he is tempted that He’s tempted of God. Temptation does not come from God. God does not entice you to sin. Satan lures. The enemy entices. Satan wants to draw you away from communing and connecting with Christ. Surrender to Christ. 

 God Does Not Tempt Man

James often is compact in length but overflows with powerful lessons on godly living. In this Love God Greatly study, take a look into God’s wisdom when it comes to suffering, the power of prayer, the importance of controlling the tongue, and the danger of wealth. James challenges us to not only talk the talk, but walk the walk; to live out our faith in a bold pursuit of holiness. 

Love God Greatly James

In the book of James, we're told that the testing of our faith will result in perseverance, bringing us to a point where we "lack nothing." But how can we really treat our trials with a spirit of "pure joy"?

Book of James

This 5-Day plan is taken from my book "James Scripture Journey: A 40-Day Bible Study on the Book of James."

How to Study the Bible: A 5-Day Plan with Jen Wilkin

For James, Christians (that is, followers of his half-brother) should reflect the character of their God. And what we find in this letter is not works and more works as sometimes thought to be. On the contrary it is a letter infused by God’s character, with the intention of making God-shaped people living in the world.

Journal ~ James

James’ teaching on works complements Paul’s teaching on faith.  Paul wrote we are made right with God by faith while James wrote about the steps that reflect that faith.  This Guide will encourage you to continue living out your faith every day.
