Widows and Orphans | James 1:22-27
Aaron Gray | November 6, 2016

Discussion Questions

How does James call us to act both vertically (toward God) and horizontally (toward others)?
How does care for orphans and widows directly reflect the nature of the gospel?
Why does James specifically speak of orphans and widows “in their affliction?” What is God calling you to do about this?

Prayer Points

Pray that God would open up opportunities for Sound City to love and serve these vulnerable people.
Pray that non-Christians would see God’s love and care reflected in our lives and that they would be drawn to the gospel as a result.
