Faith That Works Part 13 - Patient Under Pressure (James 5:7-11)

Jesus is coming back! But we don't know when, so as we wait for Jesus we need to have patience. See how a farmer waits, after he has tilled, sowed, and watered. Even while nothing is happening he knows that the seed is growing and the harvest is coming. The harvest will come at the right time, and so will Jesus. In the mean time, we are learning to be patient - with one another! It's in the waiting and in the difficult seasons of life that we could easily fall into bickering with, or complaining about, each other. This is true for everyone, and that's why patience under pressure is such a powerful and visible expression of God's kingdom. Living for God in the here-and-now while waiting for Jesus will often spark faith in others to want to do the same.
