A Community of Trust

This is the second of a two-week sermon series on the letter of James, a letter that is, in many instances, clear about what it means to be faithful. But in today’s reading there is the verse that says the prayer of faith will heal the sick – does that mean that people who are ill do not have enough faith? Does that mean that if we pray faithfully over someone who is ill, they will be cured? How do we make sense of this? What is the role of the community of faith for prayer in healing?
