James 5:1-12 Principles of Endurance for Suffering Christians

November 13, 2022 • Joel Dover • James 5:1–12

Christians will suffer. If there's one message that blows a hole in the boat of the prosperity doctrine, it's the reality that Christians sometimes suffer. Sometimes Christians suffer even when they are in the will of God or are doing everything right. James will teach us this week about principles of endurance for suffering Christians. Some in James' churches were victims of injustices from wealthy members of the community who used their wealth as a weapon by withholding wages and manipulating the legal system. Evil persons had sinned against them and were creating undue hardship for the believers. James gave these believers instructions for how a Christian should endure such hardships of suffering. No matter your own circumstances, following these principles is sure to help. Remember, we can't control how others treat us...but we can control how we respond to it.

James 4:1-17 Exaltation and Divine Resistance

November 6, 2022 • Joel Dover • James 4

James teaches us about the need to be humble Christians, and to put away pridefulness and arrogance that so often cause infighting among Christians. In his original audience, their desire for worldly pleasures had become an idol that set God in its shadow. James helps them to recognize their idolatry, and corrects them by giving a prescription of repentance, renewal, and revival. Join us as Pastor Joel takes us through this chapter verse by verse.
