Grow G1 James contrasts earthly wisdom with heavenly wisdom. What are some examples of "earthly wisdom" you've encountered in your workplace or daily life? How does it differ from godly wisdom? G2 Verse 3:16 says that where envy and selfish ambition exist, there will be "disorder and every evil practice." How have you seen this play out in work environments or relationships? G3 What are some practical ways we can cultivate the qualities of heavenly wisdom described in verse 3:17 (pure, peace-loving, considerate, submissive, full of mercy and good fruit, impartial and sincere)? G4 James says our conflicts and quarrels come from our desires battling within us (4:1-2). What are some common sources of conflict you've observed between coworkers or in the church? How can we address the root causes? G5 Verse 4:2 says "You do not have because you do not ask God." How can we cultivate a habit of bringing our needs and desires to God first, rather than fighting for them on our own? G6 What does it look like practically to "submit yourselves to God" and "resist the devil" (4:7) in your particular vocation or life circumstances? Show S1 What's one specific area where you feel convicted to pursue heavenly wisdom rather than earthly wisdom after studying this passage?

Grow G1 James refers to the “royal law” found in Scripture: "Love your neighbour as yourself." Why does he call this the "royal" law? How does this command challenge us in the way we treat others, especially those who might be considered "lesser" by society? G2 What does James mean when he says that breaking even one part of the law makes someone guilty of all of it? How does understanding the seriousness of this statement influence the way we approach our treatment of others? G3 James suggests that showing partiality is incompatible with having faith in Jesus. Why do you think favouritism and faith are in conflict? G4 Are there specific groups of people you find yourself showing partiality towards or against? How can you work to change this? How might your personal biases affect the way you share the gospel or serve others? How can you overcome these biases? G5 James warns that judgment without mercy will be shown to anyone who has not been merciful. How does this relate to Jesus' teachings on mercy and judgment? Show S1 How can our church or community better embody the principle of "loving our neighbour as ourselves" in practical, everyday actions?
