Patience is not something that comes easily to us. No one has to teach us the benefits of immediate satisfaction - even babies and toddler understand this. The imperative of James to Be patient (5:7) is one that strikes at some of our most selfish desires. This Sunday, well discover the need and the beauty of patience, and dangerously pray for the Lord to cultivate such a heart within us.

As we've grappled with humility and meekness over the last couple of weeks, those topics can easily become ones which are hard to put into action. What actual actions would display the humility that God produces in us? James 4:6-12 serves as a very practical application of the heart of humility. This passage is full of imperatives (commands), all of which are evidence of humility: submit, resist, draw near, cleanse, purify, be wretched, mourn, weep, turn laughter to mourning, humble yourselves, and don't speak evil against one another. Join us as we explore the ways in which humility shows up in our actions.
