Ch. 1
·         Trials
·         Wisdom
·         Obeying God
·         Rejecting Evil
·         Acceptance

Ch. 2·         Favoritism is evil/sin
·         God chose the poor in the world to be rich in faith and heirs of the kingdom that He has promised to those who love Him
·         Love your neighbor as yourself and do not be a lawbreaker
·         Mercy triumphs over judgment
·         Can Faith without works save you? No
·         If you have faith and I have works, we will do well together
·         For just as the body without the spirit is dead, so also faith without works is dead

Ch. 3·         Learning to control our tongues
·         The wisdom of God is the best wisdom you could ever receive
·         Don’t brag about things you have done, it’s better to let other people notice it

Ch. 4·         Christ needs to be the center of our lives
·         We shouldn’t be friends with the world, or we will be God’s enemy
·         Your focus should be on God not you
·         Christ is the only judge, we don’t have the right to judge others
·         We don’t know what’s going to happen each day.  God is in control of our lives

Ch. 5·         Be careful not to worship your money, your riches will all parish
·         We must have patience in the Lord
·         We will all endure trials at some point in our lives, we must trust the Lord
·         Your yes must be yes and your no must be no
·         The power of prayer is mighty
·         Always look to help someone in need
