Rich and Restless
Series: James
Connor Baxter | June 23, 2024
In James 5:1-12, the rich are warned against hoarding wealth, which corrodes both their possessions and their faith. Their misuse of wealth testifies against them, leading to their misery. Believers are encouraged to be patient in hardship, likening their perseverance to farmers waiting for their crops to grow. They are urged not to give up but to remain steadfast, trusting that God will ultimately intervene and bring justice.
Scripture: James 5: 1- 12

2. Why does our heart long to 'keep up' with our neighbors?
3. Are there any current trials in your life where you are being called to be 'unproductive' (patiently waiting for the Lord)?"
