James 3:13-18

Today TJ, Tyler, and Chase are going to being teaching from James 3:13-18

Who is wise and has understanding among you? He should show his works by good conduct with wisdom’s gentleness.  But if you have bitter envy and selfish ambition in your heart, don’t brag and deny the truth.  Such wisdom does not come from above but is earthly, unspiritual, demonic.  For where envy and selfish ambition exist, there is disorder and every kind of evil.  But the wisdom from above is first pure, then peace-loving, gentle, compliant, full of mercy and good fruits, without favoritism and hypocrisy.  And the fruit of righteousness is sown in peace by those who cultivate peace.

Questions:
1. How do we show bitter envy and selfish ambitions in our hearts.
2. Who is wise among you and shows it by their deeds????
3. What does eartly wisdom mean?
4. What does evil practice?
5. How can we get wisdom from above? What follows wisdom?
