James Finale

Sunday is our final foray into James' epistle. His closing themes are justice, patience, integrity, and prayer, particularly prayers for the sick.
Some scriptures to read beforehand:
Elijah's Prayers for Rain: 1 Kings 17-18 (particularly 17.1-7 & 18.41-46)
Swearing: Matthew 5.33-37; 23.16-22
Riches: Matthew 5.19-21
Remember, James and Matthew share many verses and themes. Try re-reading James and then quickly reading sections of Matthew, specifically Jesus' teachings. Enjoy!
(Preview: next week, we begin a 4-week series on Jonah)
