Chase, T.J, and Tyler are going to be this week's leaders.
19 My dearly loved brothers, understand this: Everyone must be quick to hear, slow to speak, and slow to anger, 20 for man’s anger does not accomplish God’s righteousness. 21 Therefore, ridding yourselves of all moral filth and evil, humbly receive the implanted word, which is able to save you.
We are going over James 1: 19-21.
Our questions are:
1.How can we be quick to listen, slow to speak, and slow to anger?
2.When is a good time to humbly accept God?
3.How do we humbly accept the word?
4.If anger doesn't bring out rightousness what does it bring out?
And Chase will be leading us out in prayer.
This weeks Bible verses talk about how we should be quick to listen, slow to speak,
and slow to anger. It also says how anger does not bring out a man's rightousness.

James 1:13-18
This Week Kylie, Eleanor, and Jenna will be going over James 13-18 .
13 No one undergoing a trial should say, “I am being tempted by God.” For God is not tempted by evil,[a] and He Himself doesn’t tempt anyone. 14 But each person is tempted when he is drawn away and enticed by his own evil desires. 15 Then after desire has conceived, it gives birth to sin, and when sin is fully grown, it gives birth to death.
16 Don’t be deceived, my dearly loved brothers. 17 Every generous act and every perfect gift is from above, coming down from the Father of lights; with Him there is no variation or shadow cast by turning. 18 By His own choice, He gave us a new birth by the message of truth[b] so that we would be the firstfruits of His creatures.
Here are our QUESTIONS!
Question 1- Why does God not tempt anyone? If God doesn't tempt anyone one who does?
Have you ever been tempted? Give one example.
Question 2- Why do you think "Us" or "We" are tempted in the first place?
Question 3- When the passage says "Don't be deceived". What does that mean?
Questions 4- In verse 17 God says ,'' Every gift from above comes from heaven'' What gifts have
you recieved from God?

James Ch1:5-12
The leaders this weak are Maddy, Ashtyn, and Andrea. They will be teaching on James 1:5-12. they have came up with 6 questions this week.
5 Now if any of you lacks wisdom, he should ask God, who gives to all generously and without criticizing, and it will be given to him. 6 But let him ask in faith without doubting. For the doubter is like the surging sea, driven and tossed by the wind. 7 That person should not expect to receive anything from the Lord. 8 An indecisive[a] man is unstable in all his ways.
9 The brother of humble circumstances should boast in his exaltation, 10 but the one who is rich should boast in his humiliation because he will pass away like a flower of the field. 11 For the sun rises with its scorching heat and dries up the grass; its flower falls off, and its beautiful appearance is destroyed. In the same way, the rich man will wither away while pursuing his activities.
12 A man who endures trials[b] is blessed, because when he passes the test he will receive the crown of life that God[c] has promised to those who love Him.

- Why should poor people be glad?
- What should rich people be glad about?
- Why should the doubter not expect anything from the Lord?
- It says in verse 6 that we should come to God in our needs. What can we come to Him for.
- How does the first part of verse 11, " For the sun rises with its scortchin heat and dries up the grass;its flowers fall off and its beautiful appearance is destroyed." relate to the second part? "In the same way, the rich man will wither away while pursuing his activities."
- It says in verse 12,"When he passes the test he will recieve the crown of life." What is the crown of life?

God's Gift...Mission Christmas
We will not be adopting a family this year for Christmas. Instead we will be participating in God’s Gift. God’s Gift is a program I have adopted and tweaked from my church. Megan and I are taking our tithe and giving every FCA student 5 dollars to bless someone in need. You are essentially taking God’s money and using it to bless someone in need. This is not my money, this is God’s money.
It is up to you to decide who/how you are going to bless someone in need. You can take God’s 5 dollar bill and combined in with your own money, or another family member, or another member of FCA. It’s completely up to you. You can do almost anything with the 5 dollars. You can bless someone all at once, or separate the money in several blessings. Remember, this is God’s money.
Some examples of what you can do: buy food for a homeless person, buy any kind of warm clothing for a person in need, buy a gift for a child in need, some churches have Christmas trees with gift needs attached to the tree; buy one and give that gift. You can take God’s 5 dollars and buy cooking supplies and bake a cake for a neighbor. Buy coffee for a neighbor. Take a meal over to a friend. Use the money to help a neighbor fix something. Anything and everything goes, as long as there is a need to bless someone. Please try not to buy something for your family unless there is a tremendous need for that person.
Please feel free to remind the person you are blessing how much God has blessed you and that God loves them. When you are finished with God’s Gift I want to hear about it. Every person will HAVE to write, or type me a letter telling me how they used God’s money to bless others. I will be expecting this letter when we get back from Christmas break, or before.
Have a great time blessing others. Get in the Christmas spirit and remember your Saviors birth.

Zachery reads Psalm 123
Zachery chose this passage because he likes how it keeps us focused on God, and not on anything else.
I lift my eyes to You, the One enthroned in heaven. Like a servant's eyes on His master's hand, like a servant girl's eyes on her mistress's hand, so our eyes are on the Lord our God until He shows us favor. Show us favor, Lord, show us favor, for we've had more than enough contempt. We've had more than enough scorn from the arrogant and contempt from the proud.
Questions:
1. What does it mean to lift up your eyes to the Lord?
2. What does it mean by servants staying near their master?
3. Are we suppose to be like that?
4. How does God show us favor?
5. Has anyone been made fun of? If so what can you do about it?
6. Remember God is good, sometimes blessings are difficult, also, he doesn't grant wishes.

Caden Reads Psalms 27:1-4
Caden chose this passage because is shows us that no matter what we have nothing to fear because God is with us.
The Lord is my light and my salvation- whom shall I fear? The Lord is the stronghold of my life- of whom shall I be afraid? When evildoers came against me to devour my flesh, my foes and my enemies stumble and fell. Though an army deploy against me, my heart is not afraid; though war break out against me, still I am confident. I have asked one thing of the Lord; it is what I desire: to dwell in the house of the Lord all the days of my life, gazing on the beauty of the Lord and seeking Him in His temple.
Questions:
1. Who do you fear?
2. Should you fear anything?
3. Why shouldn't we fear?
4. What happens to our enemies?
5. Where do you want to live forever?

Jackson Reads Psalms 98:4-9
Jackson picked this Psalm because is shows us how to worship Christ. How to be grateful for Christ's love.
Shout to the Lord, all the earth; be jubilant, shout for joy, and sing. Sing to the Lord with the lyre, with the lyre and melodious song. With trumpets and the blast of the ram's horn shout triumphantly in the presence of the Lord, our King. Let the sea and all that fills it, the world and those who live in it, resound. Let the rivers clap their hands; let the mountains shout together for joy before the Lord, for He is coming to judge the earth. He will judge the world righteously and the peoples fairly.
Questions:
1. What does it mean to shout to the Lord?
2. What is a lyre?
3. Why do we need to shout triumphantly?
4. Can river and mountains clap?
5. What kind of judge is Christ?

William Reads Proverbs 13:1-4
William did a knock out job reading explaining Proverbs 13.
A wise son hears his father's instruction, but a mocker doesn't listen to rebuke. From the words of his mouth, a man will enjoy good things, but treacherous people have an appetite for violence. The one who guards his mouth protects his life; the one opens his lips invites his own ruin. The slacker craves, yet has nothing, but the diligent is fully satisfied.
Questions:
1. How come we must listen to our parents?
2. What is rebuke?
3. What does it mean when the author says the one who gaurds his mouth protects it?
4. Are you a slacker?
5. What do you crave?
6. Are you fully satisfied?

Psalm 23 Read by Jack
Jack did an amazing job of reading and discussing Psalm 23.
The Lord is my shepherd; there is nothing I lack. He lets me lie down in green pastures; He leads me besides quiet waters. He renews my life; He leads me along the right paths for His name sake. Even though I walk through the darkest valley, I fear no danger, for You are with me; Your rod and Your staff - they comfort me. You prepare a table before me in the presence of my enemies; You anoint my head with oil; my cup overflows. Only goodness and faithful love will pursue me all the days of my life, and I will dwell in the house of the Lord as long as I live.
Here are some of Jack's questions
1. What is a shepherd?
2. What are quiet waters in our life? What aren't quiet waters?
3. What are dark valleys?
4. What is the right path?
5. What is my cup overflows?

Welcome to a new year of FCA
This is going to be a great year of FCA. I've met with our 6th grade leaders and they are pumped up about leading the school through Psalms and Proverbs. I opened the year off with a basic introduction of Proverbs 1 and Psalms 1. Last week we read Psalm 145:8-11
The Lord is gracious and compassionate, slow to anger and great in faithful love. The Lord is good to everyone; His compassion rests on all He has made. All You have made will praise You, Lord; the godly will bless You. They will speak of the glory of Your kingdom and will declare You mighty.
God is good to all. He doesn't jump on us when we make a mistake. He is full of lovingkindness. He has compassion for us. He isn't selfish. Everyone will praise Him, whether now, or when they are gone. He is full of blessings. We will glory to God always. I hope this verse will stay with us the entire year.
Next week Logan will walk us through Psalms 100.
If you would like to help out with snacks on Friday morning please speak with Mrs. Frisby during FCA.

Pray and Play was AWESOME!!!!!!!!!
What a great event. There was around 80 kids who attended the event and about 10 or more parents. We prayed before playing Volleyball and Capture-the-Flag. Everyone seemed to be enjoying themselves throughout the day. We served Hot Dogs, Chips, and Drinks to all the kids, plus a ton extra to all the bikers and water loving bystanders. Thank you so much for all the help. Thanks Rob for cooking, Mr. Todd for the napkins and drinks, Mr. Orr for helping with the BBQ, Dave for the BBQ, and all the FCA families for your encouragement and prayers.

Hold on Acts, Let's Repent
We stopped Acts because the team and I wanted to review repentance. Some things came up at school and several people felt the need to repent their sins. Several kids came to me and asked what repentancc means. So, we decided to talk about it this week. Here is what we came up with. Mark 1:4 is about John the Baptist preaching a baptism of repentance and forgiveness Acts 2:38 is about Peter saying repent and be baptized for forgiveness of sins Acts 13:38 through Jesus the forgiveness of sins is proclaimed Acts 26:18 darkness to light, Satan to God, and recieve forgiveness of sins.
