What Does James 5:1 Mean?


Listen Later

"Now listen, you rich people, weep and wail because of the misery that is coming on you." James 5:1 NIV

Today, we move into the last chapter of James!

If you've been with us from the beginning, congratulations on your commitment to put God's Word first.

If you are new to The Simple Truth, thank you for joining us and welcome to the tribe! You've joined a great group of men and women committed to digging deeper and understanding more of the Bible.

We've come a long way through James' letter. 

 

HERE'S A MAP OF WHERE WE'VE BEEN:

  • How to endure trials and temptations (James 1:2-18)
  • Don't just hear the Word, do it (James 1:19-2:26)
  • The danger of the tongue (James 3:1-12)
  • The difference between earthly wisdom vs. heavenly wisdom (James 3:13-18)
  • How to draw near to God through humility (James 4:1-17)

 

OUR ROADMAP THIS WEEK:

MONDAY-WEDNESDAY

  • The history of rich landowners oppressing the poor (James 5:1-6)

THURSDAY-FRIDAY

  • The blessing of patience (James 5:7-11)

 

WHAT YOU WILL DISCOVER TODAY:

  • Learn the fascinating history of how the wealthy landowners took advantage of the poor Christians (this really got James steaming mad)
  • Why the wealthy people took the peasant labor to court (this would get me mad, too)
  • What you would do if you couldn't pay your debts (I could never imagine having to do this!)
