SCRIPTURE TEXT: - James 4:4-10 “True Humility and Submission”

Unfaithful people! Don’t you know that to be the world’s friend means to be God’s
enemy? People who want to be the world’s friends make themselves God’s enemies. Don’t think
that there is no truth in the scripture that says, “The spirit that God placed in us is filled with
fierce desires.” But the grace that God gives is even stronger. As the scripture says, “God
resists the proud, but gives grace to the humble.” So then, submit to God. Resist the Devil, and
he will run away from you. Come near to God, and he will come near to you. Wash your hands,
you sinners! Purify your hearts, you hypocrites! Be sorrowful, cry, and weep; change your
laughter into crying, your joy into gloom! Humble yourselves before the Lord, and he will lift you
up.

3. SHARED PRAXIS BIBLE STUDY

is felt to be highly reprehensible.

II. PRESENT ACTION

 What was the biggest sin you’ve committed?

 On your own understanding, is it hard not to commit sin? Why?
 What was your unforgettable sin?

PRESENT REFLECTION

What do you feel when you are committing sins? Why?

“But your iniquities have separated you from your God; your sins have hidden his face
from you, so that he will not hear”
 Romans 3:23
“for all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God”

 Romans 6:23
“For the wages of sin is death, but the free gift of God is eternal life in Christ Jesus our
Lord”
 Romans 8:10
“Since Christ lives within you, even though your body will die because of sin, your spirit
is alive because you have been made right with God.”
 Hebrew 12:1-2
“Therefore, since we are surrounded by such a huge crowd of witnesses to the life of
faith, let us strip off every weight that slows us down, especially the sin that so easily
hinders our progress. And let us run with endurance the race that God has set before us.
We do this by keeping our eyes on Jesus, on whom our faith depends from start to

would be his afterward. Now he is seated in the place of highest honor beside God’s
throne in heaven.

Rise Up (Lyrics)
by: Andra Day

You're broken down and tired of living life on a merry go round

And you can't find the fighter, but I see it in you so we gonna walk it out
And move mountains, We gonna walk it out
And move mountains

And I'll rise up, I'll rise like the day

I'll rise up, I'll rise unafraid
I'll rise up, and I'll do it a thousand times again
And I'll rise up, high like the waves
I'll rise up, in spite of the ache
I'll rise up, and I'll do it a thousand times again
For you, for you, for you, for you

When the silence isn't quiet, and it feels like it's getting hard to breathe
And I know you feel like dying, but I promise we'll take the world to its feet
And move mountains, we'll take it to its feet
And move mountains

Fight Song (Lyrics)

by: Rachel Platten
Like a small boat on the ocean
Sending big waves into motion
Like how a single word can make a heart open
I might only have one match but i can make an explosion
And all of those things i didn’t say, wrecking balls inside my brain
I will scream them loud tonight can you hear my voice this time

This is my fight song, take back my life song

Prove I’m alright song my power’s turned on
Starting right now I’ll be strong, I’ll play my fight song
And i don’t really care if nobody else believes ’cause i still got a lot of fight left in me

After the death of Moses the servant of the Lord, the Lord said to Joshua the son of Nun,
Moses’ assistant, “Moses my servant is dead. Now therefore arise, go over this Jordan, you and
all this people, into the land that I am giving to them, to the people of Israel. Every place that the
sole of your foot will tread upon I have given to you, just as I promised to Moses. From the
wilderness and this Lebanon as far as the great river, the river Euphrates, all the land of the
Hittites to the Great Sea toward the going down of the sun shall be your territory. No man shall
be able to stand before you all the days of your life. Just as I was with Moses, so I will be with
you. I will not leave you or forsake you. Be strong and courageous, for you shall cause this
people to inherit the land that I swore to their fathers to give them. Only be strong and very
courageous, being careful to do according to all the law that Moses my servant commanded
you. Do not turn from it to the right hand or to the left, that you may have good success
wherever you go. This Book of the Law shall not depart from your mouth, but you shall meditate
on it day and night, so that you may be careful to do according to all that is written in it. For then
you will make your way prosperous, and then you will have good success. Have I not
commanded you? Be strong and courageous. Do not be frightened, and do not be dismayed, for
the Lord your God is with you wherever you go.” And Joshua commanded the officers of the
people “Pass through the midst of the camp and command the people, ‘Prepare your provisions,
for within three days you are to pass over this Jordan to go in to take possession of the land that
the Lord your God is giving you to possess.’” And to the Reubenites, the Gadites, and the half-
tribe of Manasseh Joshua said, “Remember the word that Moses the servant of the Lord
commanded you, saying, ‘The Lord your God is providing you a place of rest and will give you
this land.’ Your wives, your little ones, and your livestock shall remain in the land that Moses
gave you beyond the Jordan, but all the men of valor among you shall pass over armed before
your brothers and shall help them, until the Lord gives rest to your brothers as he has to you,

Page 5
And they also take possession of the land that the Lord your God is giving them. Then you shall
return to the land of your possession and shall possess it, the land that Moses the servant of the
Lord gave you beyond the Jordan toward the sunrise.” And they answered Joshua, “All that you
have commanded us we will do, and wherever you send us we will go. Just as we obeyed
Moses in all things, so we will obey you. Only may the Lord your God be with you, as he was
with Moses! Whoever rebels against your commandment and disobeys your words, whatever
you command him, shall be put to death. Only be strong and courageous.”
