Peter Fitch continues the work on James by looking at the last 6 verses of chapter 3 (James 3:13-18). He thinks that God’s wisdom, the real thing, that is, holds the community together. It’s the cement or mortar for the bricks. It’s a transformation of character that allows people to work well together. It has nothing to do with creating boundaries and divisions that keep people apart, even if those who do this think that they are representing God. This passage (and this talk) is short and simple but the message is clear.

What You Say Matters/ May 10, 2020
Peter Fitch looks at James 3:1-12. This is a famous passage about the problems caused by the things we say to one another. Peter asks why this passage is here, at this point in the letter, and he shares his opinion that the way we speak is an essential building block of the new community.

A Grounded Community/ May 3, 2020
Peter Fitch continues the study on James (James 2:14-26). The first half of chapter 2 taught about a “higher” way of doing things. The new community is to be “spiritual.” Everyone belongs and people are not to be treated as better than others. God is real in the community. However, this portion, the second half of the chapter, gives an important corrective: real spirituality does not remove us from ordinary life; instead, it infuses real life with strength and desire to act, to care for others in practical ways.

So Was That the Apocalypse/ April 26, 2020
Walter explores the relevance of apocalyptic language in our
current situation and concludes (borrowing from N.T. Wright) that
apocalyptic language is the unleashing of the power of art and Spiritual
intuition to describe and imagine possibilities for great change. He
concludes by fielding comments from listeners on apocalyptic revelations
and possibilities.

A New Community Ethic/ April 19, 2020
Peter Fitch continues the study on James. Today he looks at Ch. 2:1-13. The new community desires poor people and wealthy people to be treated in the same way. As we read closely, we learn that all “face value” judgments of people are wrong and get in the way of what God is trying to do. We can live in a world of division and judgment where some people feel superior to others or we can live in an atmosphere where everyone tries to “love others as they love themselves.” One is the realm of “judgment.” The other is the realm of “mercy.” We can’t live in both at the same time.

The Benefit of Disruption/ March 29, 2020
Peter Fitch continues the Bible Study from the book of James that he started last week. Here he speaks about ideas that he sees in James 1: 9-18. He feels that this passage begins with a recognition that disruption has forced itself upon the new community that has formed around Jesus’ teachings after his death. The author of this letter doesn’t feel that this is all bad because times of disruption can make us see things in a new light.
