SERMON THOUGHTS
-
READ James 5:7-12

Who are you waiting for?

NEW SERMON SERIES
JAMES: Practicology!
Yes, I know that this is a made up word, but it does have meaning in my mind. Practicology means--Practicing your theology. Practice what you preach. Living a faith active lifestyle. Or as Rich Mullins' states: "Faith without works is as useless as a screen door on a submarine."
James has a strong tone of pastoral exhortation. James has a greater frequency of imperatives than any other New Testament book. His purpose is clearly not so much to inform, but to command, exhort and encourage.
I pray that you will join me on this journey through the Epistle of James, discovering how we are to put our faith in Jesus into practice.
