26.06.22 “Privilege, Patience & Prayer” (James 5)

   I wonder if Mondays seem to be an uphill climb for you, as they are for many people around the world? If so, perhaps you’ll find encouragement today in the fifth and final chapter of the first letter to be written and sent to Christians, all across the Roman empire, in the early first century. For the past four days we’ve been walking through this little letter which bears the name of its author, James.  You may recall this James was one of four sons of Mary and Joseph, raised in Nazareth, with Jesus as their 1/2 brother! (Matt. 13:53-58) James had become convinced of Jesus’ true identity AFTER His crucifixion and resurrection. When anointed by the Holy Spirit James became a passionate proclaimer of the Gospel of Jesus and one of the significant leaders of the Christ follower movement in Jerusalem. (Click here to see full text, images and links)    Pastor Doug Anderson    “Let us run with perseverance the race marked out for us, with our eyes fixed on Jesus…” (Heb. 12:1,2)Have a comment or question about today’s chapter? I’m ready to hear from you, contact me here.
