“This week (March 30) our Sermon was from James 5:13-20.
The book of James is practical. It tells you what to do in real time and space and it works like an instruction manual. Here, James asks, “Are you in trouble?” If you have stress at work, in your marriage or in your health what should you do? Step one: Pray. In the same way, if you are happy, you should sing songs of praise. If you are sick, you should call the elders of the church and they will anoint you with oil and pray for you. God still heals miraculously and He uses ordinary people with extraordinary faith to both heal and forgive.
Discussion Points
- How is your prayer life? How likely are you to get stressed out or try to fix your own problems before taking your need to God?
- Have you ever seen God do a supernatural healing? How can you participate in God’s design for this kind of healing in your church?
