Sermon Discussion Questions

  1. What is God-given wisdom? How does James describe it as?
  2. We are to be pure just as He is pure. What does this mean firstly, in terms of the Godly wisdom we have received and secondly, in how we use that Godly wisdom? How can we continue to be set apart for God keeping the purity of His ways? (1 John 3:2-3 and 1 Peter 1:16)
  3. God’s wisdom is peaceable and gentle. It is not however, a false peace or a sign of weakness. How can we prevent ourselves from practising a false wisdom? (James 3:17, Phil 1:9-10)
  4. Wisdom from above is willing to yield. What does this willingness to yield look like? Can you share a testimony on how an openness to reason looks like? What do you think being open to reason looks like in your everyday life? (James 3:17, Isaiah 55:8-9)
