Read James 4:1-10. What stands out to you in this passage? What is God’s heart to us?

What kinds of quarrels and arguments do Christians get into these days? Or to put it another way, what are some reasons that believers war against each other? And why are these reasons such a sad commentary on Christians today (see John 13:34-35)?

In James 4:2-4, it shows us that the essence of our sin is selfishness. How can you relate to this personally?

“God opposes the proud but gives grace to the humble.” (v. 6). We all have pride. If God is in opposition to our pride, what are some practical ways we can kill our pride? And what are some ways we can “press into” humility?

Perhaps the most pivotal verse in James (and maybe the Bible) is verse 7, that tells us therefore... to “submit yourselves to God.” What are some of the most effective ways you have done that, or experienced drawing near to God?

Close in prayer by everyone sharing one specific way the group can pray for you to draw near to God this week.
