    James 5:13-20. Believers are encouraged to pray during times of suffering and times of joy; for those who are sick and those who are in sin - because genuine prayer works.

    LIVING THE PRAYERFUL LIFE JAMES 5:13-20 INTRODUCTION Let’s open our Bibles to James chapter 5. We have come to the concluding passage of this New Testament letter.

    Praise Is Comely

    Contributed by Joseph Smith on Feb 21, 2009
    based on 7 ratings
     | 18,980 views

    The King James Version word "comely" helps us see that praise and worship fit the reality of today’s world, but are attractive to those who need perspective by which to live.

    Our members will know that I seldom use the King James Version of the Scriptures, except on certain occasions when the majesty and beauty of its language are desirable. We are a church which is generally committed to contemporary readings of the Bible because they are more accurate and are easier ...read more

     | 6,651 views

    So often we get caught up in the world’s definition of success. James calls us to look beyond the limitations of temporal wealth to the eternal blessings of spiritual prosperity!

    When should we pray for health? When should we confess our sins? James compels his readers to think about their relationship to one another as a cause of their discomfort.

    JAMES 5:13-16a PRAYER + FAITH = HEALING “Is anyone among you suffering? Let him pray. Is anyone cheerful? Let him sing praise. Is anyone among you sick?

    James cautioned believers against rushing to become teachers. God teaches that He will appoint whom He pleases. He does, however, give us the criteria for His appointment.

They shall keep guard over him and over the whole congregation before the tent of meeting, as they minister at the tabernacle. They shall guard all the furnishings ...read more

    We Are Gomer

     | 15,106 views

    James Montgomery Boice calls the enacted parable of Hosea and Gomer "the second greatest story in the Bible," a depiction of God's embracing, pardoning grace. In it we see that We are Gomer.

    We enact a parable of grace every time we observe the Lord's Supper. Another living parable was dramatized by Hosea the prophet. He was told by God to marry a wayward women who would prove to be unfaithful. He did so, to depict God's grace. It was not unusual for God to ask His prophets to do ...read more
