I am looking for class material on “Grace”. I did not find any in your archive. Can you direct me to some good material or to research areas? Thanks.
Jim,
I don’t have any material written up on that but I can point you to a few resources.
Try Yancey’s Book “What’s So Amazing About Grace”. It is excellent. I have also heard Andy Stanley’s book “The Grace of God” is a very good resource as well. If I hear of anything else I will pass it along. God bless,
Matt
Thank you. I am re-reading Yancey’s book and will get a copy of Stanley’s book. It simply astounds me that for a body of believers who base our relationship with God on his grace, there is so little in depth material available. Perhaps this is indicative of why we struggle with so many “issues”. I am looking forward to anything you might run across.
Jim,
I will be teaching a class on grace starting in January. I will post my notes on this at some point but it will be a couple of months. Hopefully that will help fill the void out there on free Bible class material on grace. I agree that it is such an important topic that it is astounding how hard it is to find quality material on it in a curriculum format.
Matt,
This comment has been down here for a while!! Did you ever post the series on Grace? It didn’t pop off the page at me. 🙂
Thanks
I have about 6 lessons on grace from when I taught it back then. I don’t remember why it didn’t go a whole quarter! The way I wrote it might be a little hard to teach from.
Please Sir, which of the James wrote ‘the letter of James’?
There are 4 different persons in the New Testament with the name James:
James the son of Zebedee, James the son of Alphaeus, James the father of Judas the apostle (Lk. 6:16) and James the Lord’s half brother. Most likely the book of James was written by the last James mentioned here, the Lord’s half brother. It appears that James did not believe in Jesus as Savior and Lord until after Jesus’s crucifixion or after He appeared to him in 1 Cor. 15:7.
Sorry for the slow response…the most widely held view is what yota wrote in response to your question – James, the half brother of Jesus.
Inquiry – May I ask for a Favor? I have needed someone who can …
I have needed someone who can give me coaching and training to develop myself as a Mission Network Leader on how I manage my quality time with God and also in the family in the ministry there many working leaders around me, how do I develop them, I mean I can develop a leadership structure?
