Dear folks – thought I’d send along a brief reminder of my sermon thoughts this morning…
When we’re faced with tough times, James 5 gives us five words to remember:
Patience – God’s plan is working itself out – as promised. (vs 7 - 8)
Poise – Don’t take affliction as an opportunity to complain (vs 9)
Perspective – Consider those who have gone through this before, and don’t imagine that you’re in control of things. (vs 10 – 12)
Prayer – If your suffering because of sin, pray! If you’re suffering because of your sin, confess and pray! (vs 13 – 16) It really works!
Purpose – God can do extraordinary things through ‘ordinary’ people (think Elijah). Our primary goal is to reconcile others to God (vs 17 – 20)
Some good stuff for us to think about this week! God Bless!
Pastor Bob
