James: True Faith Truly Works – “Being Righteous when You are Wronged” (James 5:7-9)

James 5:7-9 (NASB) 7 Therefore be patient, brothers and sisters, until the coming of the Lord. The farmer waits for the precious produce of the soil, being patient about it, until it gets the early and late rains. 8 You too be patient; strengthen your hearts, for the coming of the Lord is near. 9 Do not complain, brothers and sisters, against one another, so that you may not be judged; behold, the Judge is standing right at the door. Theme: Being righteous before God when you are wronged involves steadfast patience, always aware of the Lord’s return & nearness. How to respond rightly when you are wronged in life: 1) Be Patient (5:7-8a) 2) Be Steadfast (5:8b) 3) Don’t Turn Against Each Other (5:9) https://www.faithbiblechurch.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/05/Sermon20260524.mp3
