I'm in the process of preparing four expositions for a Bible Weekend Conference. They are all based on the Letter of James, which I've been musing and mulling over during Lent. Here is the intended programme – some of the earlier blog posts on words and the Christian Ethic of speaking will give a clue as to where some of these studies will lead………

Theme: Before Following Jesus,

Read the Large Print.

Following Jesus. There’s No Such Thing as Freedom of Speech.

James, Words, and a Christian Ethic of Speaking.

Following Jesus. The Realities of a Relationally Challenged Church.

James, Conflict, and the Wisdom from Above.

Following Jesus. Hospitality to the Poor is a Requirement Not an Option

James, the Poor and Christian Neighbourliness

Following Jesus.  Even When Life Hurts.

James, God’s Faithfulness, and Our Suffering.
