This sermon takes the last two verses in James and uses them to examine the two characters in James' closing scenario. Once the Soul Winner is described then the next step is to decide which one best suits me right now. The Wanderer or the Soul Winner.

The Wanderer is described and Christians are encouraged to examine their own hearts and draw near to Christ.

A Healthy Church is one that loves each other with the love begotten of the Spirit. Reclaiming an erring brother or sister is not easy nor fun. However, this may be a mark of the church that suffers the most in our day. This sermon is only an introduction to the last two verse of James' letter. To God be the glory-

Christians need to pray and need to be prayed for. James demonstrates the power of prayer and why those afflicted, happy, and sick, need it so much.

James puts his finger on a grievous habit among those believing Jews in his letter. Profane speech and swearing is the sin and has become a habit among God's people. Like today it's become the norm to profane God's name with careless words and promises with no intention of keeping the promise if things get difficult.

Christians are to exercise the spiritual grace of patience when they are in a trial. James, after pointing us to examine a farmer now points to the Prophets but especially Job. Job's patience in his great affliction was renown. What can learn from Job- Listen to the sermon and find out for yourself.

Patience is a Grace. A Grace along with so many other graces that the Holy Spirit brings into our lives when we are made Christians. -Afflictions, hurt, and pain often brings out the worst in folks but that should not be the case if we are Christians. This sermon addresses James command to be patient. Here I explain what patience is and how we are to see it work in our lives. I also handle Christ' coming in regard to this command.

Woe to those who squander their lives in pleasure. Especially those who are given so much and do so little with their wealth. It is a great sin to trust in riches and take advantage of others to gain wealth. This sin does not get overlooked by God. He notices. He brings grave judgment on those who abuse others for the sake of personal gain.
