13 James 5:7-12 "True Faith Works on Our Patience"

We'd love to hear from you. Text us.Patience is not something we always value, but it is something God values.  God is so committed to us developing patience that He providentially permits us to enter into stretching situations so we can cultivate this vital virtue. Why is patience something God actively seeks to cultivate in us?  Because He wants to conform us more and more to the image of Christ.  God wants us to learn patience because God Himself is patient.  If we are going to be like Jesus, if we are going to reflect Jesus to this watching world, then we will need to learn patience.  How does God bless us with godly patience? By putting us in situations that are both prickly & protracted.  No one has to endure ice cream or puppies.  We endure difficult situations and difficult people. Both of which James speaks of in our passage.  Turn with me in the Word of God to James 5:7-12 as we shall see that True Faith Works on Our Patience.  Grab your Bible, a pen, & print out the free downloadable sermon outline & study guide & let's get Washed in the Word!Free sermon outlines & accompanying study guides are available at our website: www.washedintheword.life on the Study Guides page.
