Prosperity, Patience, and Promises (James 5:1-12)

In today's Bible study of James 5:1-12, we’re going to talk about prosperity, patience, and promises. We’re going to consider financial wealth, and why God sometimes condemns the rich. We’ll learn how to be patient, and what to do when we’re oppressed and persecuted. And we’re going to see what the Bible means when it says not to swear oaths or make promises. Hey!
