A Church’s Responsibility
James 5:12-20
Pray Constantly
• Our motivation: we can do nothing without Christ
• Our concentration: Kingdom agenda
• Our resolution: let prayer be foundational, not just additional
Sing Biblically
• Praise lifts my head up
• Praise holds my heart steady
• Praise anchors my soul in Christ
Confess Regularly
• Sin brings isolation
• Accountability brings solidarity
Restore Lovingly
• Be sensitive to doctrine
• Be sensitive to practice
God’s good design is for a church to pray, sing, confess, and restore one another in unity, for the sake of the Kingdom
