The Book Of James- Authentic Faith is Visible

Too often, there’s a gap between what we believe and how we live. In this six-day reading plan, as we walk through the book of James, it challenges us to close that gap. We’re called to awaken an authentic, transformative faith the world can’t deny because it doesn’t just live in our heads – it shows up in our hands, visible for all to see.

Description: Taught by Sister Patricia Ellis, one of RSBC's passionate Christian Educators, who says there’s a gap between what we believe and how we live. In this six-day reading plan and study, it challenges us to close the gap.

🔥 Live Free, Stay Unoffended — The Bait of Satan Bible Study 🔥 

Get ready for a powerful, eye‑opening Bible study that will help you break free from one of the enemy’s most subtle traps: offense. Based on John Bevere’s transformational book The Bait of Satan, this study will show you how to recognize offense, uproot it, and walk in the kind of freedom that changes everything.

On Zoom, @ Thursday 7:00 p.m

What You’ll Gain

  • Stronger relationships — Learn how to navigate conflict, communicate with grace, and stop letting misunderstandings steal your peace.

  • A healthier heart — Discover how to release bitterness, forgive fully, and protect your joy.

  • Spiritual clarity — Recognize the enemy’s tactics so you can respond with wisdom instead of reacting in emotion.

  • Unshakeable resilience — Build the kind of inner strength that helps you stay steady even when people disappoint you.

  • A deeper walk with God — Experience the freedom that comes when you let God heal the places offense has tried to occupy.

How It Applies to Daily Life

This isn’t just a study—it’s a lifestyle shift. Each week, you’ll learn how to apply biblical truth to real‑world situations like:

  • Handling hurtful comments without shutting down

  • Setting healthy boundaries without building walls

  • Responding to difficult coworkers, family members, or friends with wisdom

  • Letting go of past wounds so they stop shaping your present.

  • Choosing peace when you feel misunderstood.

  • Staying rooted in God’s voice instead of people’s opinions

You’ll walk away with practical tools you can use every single day—at home, at work, in relationships, and in your spiritual life.

Why This Study Matters

Offense is everywhere in today’s world, but it doesn’t have to live in you. This study will help you rise above the drama, stay grounded in truth, and live with a freedom that inspires others.

Come ready to grow, laugh, heal, and experience breakthrough. 
Your journey to a stronger, freer, more resilient life starts now.

One of RSBC's most down-to-earth Christian Educators, Sister April Johnson, is offering a lifestyle shift, that will help you break free from one of the enemy’s most subtle traps: offense. You won't want to miss this!
