Answer from what the passage actually says — stay in the text.

1. What does this passage show me about God?

   • What does James say happens to someone who hears the word but does not do it?
   • What does James say real religion looks like?

2. What does it show me about people — and about myself?

   • Is there something God has shown you in his word that you have not yet done? What is stopping you?

3. What will I obey this week? (a concrete step, with a day)

   • What is one thing from God's word you will do this week? Name it and the day you will do it.

4. Who will I tell?

   • Who in your life is in need, like the orphans and widows James mentions? How will you care for them, and tell them why?

3 Grow

Growth is God's part, not yours. Do the cycle faithfully and trust Him to give the growth (1 Corinthians 3:6–7).
