Being Blessed in what you do - James 1:19-25
What is the most successful plant, garden, crop, or tree you
have ever grown/cultivated or cared for?
What made it successful?
When you think of someone who is “truly blessed” what does
it look like? What makes them “blessed”?
Now Read the preceding verses: James 1:19-25
On Sunday* Jeff said that
there were 3 ways to be Blessed in what you do”.
1)
Receive
the engrafted word of God
2)
Be a doer of the word of God
3)
Look intently into the word of God
In this Study we will look at 2 elements: The engrafting (implanting) of the Word of
God and second, the reason why we engraft the word of God.
RESEARCH: What does
it look like to be blessed in the Bible?
Read the following verses and then record/share your insights:
Matthew 5:1-13
Joshua 1:6-9
Psalm 1:1-3
If you were at church Sunday – describe “grafting” from Jeff’s
example of the apple tree. If you are
doing this as the online Bible Study you
might watch this youtube video
The way we Engraft God’s Word is through the meditation
mentioned in the verses we just read:
Why
is it important that we MEDITATE ON and ENGRAFT GOD’S WORD?
Read 2 Timothy 4:3-4
What does Paul warn Timothy (us) will happen? What will people “turn their ears away from”?
Why did Jesus come?
John 18:38
What did he bring to us?

When we read the Bible who will help us? What will He help us discover?
John 14:16-17; 16:13
When was the first time recorded in Scripture that Satan
distorted Truth? Genesis 3:1-6
What areas in our culture are some areas where truth has
been “turned away from”?
