Draw Near to God

Week 4, Day 20 - James: Next Level Look

July 8, 2022 • Pastor Jenni Clayville • James 4:7–10

When I read James’ exhortation at the end I read this as– him saying– be concerned with the salvation of others around you. Be in prayer and be watchful when your brothers and sisters turn away from the faith. My part is to communicate the faith in such a way that I continuously live out the hope, the freedom, and the restoration that Jesus offers with my words and actions.

Dream, Pray, Think

July 21, 2022 • Pastor Kiersten Telzerow • James 5:16–18

James isn’t condemning us for not remembering– instead, he’s doing the opposite- he’s empowering us to remember and believe that our prayers matter. Our prayers make a difference. Our prayers have impact– so much so that they can cause rain to stop or rain to come. When was the last time you believed in the power and efficacy of your prayers THAT much?
