Session 4: Nothin’ But Heart (James 2:1-13)
Designated as Black History Month, the month of February is a chance for each of us to examine our personal biases and prejudices. Use this small-group session out of James 2 to help your students see the people around them as God sees them—seeing nothing but their hearts. While overt prejudices may not exist in your group, subtle favoritism might. We’re glad to be able to share this session out of InWord’s small-group study on James, Hear and Do (Youth Specialties/Zondervan). This session includes a prep for the leader and five different session guides to choose from based on the age/setting of your group. You’ll find the links below. Enjoy!
