Mid-Week at Home
Wednesday Night Discussion Questions
Series: The Book of James
Topic: James 1—”Fair-Weather Christians”
Speaker: Nathan Sell, Middle School Pastor
Date: September 7, 2022
Overview:
In James 1, James points out what it looks like to be a committed disciple of Christ. He compares those who are fully committed to those who are halfway following Christ, or who are “Fair-Weather Christians”. A “Fair-Weather Christian” is someone who only follows Christ when it is convenient, comfortable, and leads to blessings. A question we must ask ourselves is whether or not we are committed to Christ in the hard times, just as we are when life is easy. Are we people who endure and rely on God through hardship, are fully committed and loyal to Christ, and are we people who are obedient to God’s Word? In James 1, we learn that committed disciples… 1.) Endure 2.) Are Loyal and Committed 3.) Obey
Discussion Questions:
- How do you see people living “halfway” for Christ at school and in culture/the world?
- What impact do you think culture and your friends have on how easy, or hard, it is for you to be fully committed to Christ each day?
- What can you do to be more committed to Christ?
- What are some things that we can do as a family that help you stay committed to Christ? What are some things that we can do as a family that would help you become more committed to Christ?
