James ends by returning to the beginning. In his opening salvo, he encouraged his readers to count their current trials as joy because the testing of their faith "produces perseverance" (1:2). Now he speaks again of our need to wait on God. Since there is no future in speaking against each other, making plans on your own, or clinging to wealth, what are we to do when we are pressed and discouraged in the midst of ongoing trials? We are to be patient, James answers, "until the coming of the Lord."

In this expositional study on the epistle of JAMES, Pastor Ronald H. Gann examines the theological relationship between faith and works. Rich in personal application, this sermon series promises to challenge new and mature believers alike.
