FINAL EPISODE IN BOOK OF JAMES

Exposition of James 5:13-18

James addresses a variety of specific situations, some of which are successful and some of which are not. The examples James draws on are from a familiar story to his audience at the time. For us, it may be the first time.

So what we get today is two swift commands:

Pray and Praise. With those, BE A FELLOWSHIP OF GRACE

"Elijah knew the WORD OF THE LORD and HIS WILL. He was confident enough because He knew what God despised, so He spoke. "

"Imitate the things to be imitated, the prophets. We are undergoing refinements in our faith, so endure"

Exposition James 5:10-12

Life is full of beauty. There is so much more to life than we have been told, as life's beauty unfolds daily. His mercies are new each morning.

Waiting for something is not simply receiving something in the end; waiting is about what you will become as you wait—transformation, a life that bears fruit!

Forgiveness is a gift at the end of waiting, but mercy is in the now, in your salvation. He grants mercy to the one who takes hold of it and receives it; that person is the one in Christ.

The early church expected Jesus's immediate Second Coming; James urged his people to wait patiently for the few remaining years. The early church was mistaken; Jesus Christ did not return within a generation of men.

Don’t put off Christ. When He comes or enters in, no delay.

Chapter 5 combines exhortations, warnings, and encouragement. The focus is on patience, endurance, and preparation for the Lord's return. We notice a comparison and contrast. The first six verses have two aims:

1. To show the ultimate worthlessness of all earthly riches

2. To show the detestable character of those who possess riches

By making this contrast, James wants his readers to avoid placing all their hopes, aims, and desires on earthly things.

Here in this episode of James 4, you will observe:

V14: James emphasizes the uncertainty of life and the folly of relying on our understanding; V15: More on God's Sovereignty; V16: James calls us to acknowledge our dependence on God and submit to His will; V17: What to say and what not to say.

James strives for UNITY in the church.

James strives for one to understand God's Authority rests in His law.

James wants you to see God's sovereignty.

Exposition of James 4:11-12

What humanity does is rooted and grounded in creation. Praise God redemption bridges the gap in what we do and what we should do.

James challenges the church to take the gospel in your context but first have unity.

James examines the worldly attitude in greater detail from James 3.

The three divisions are VV1-3, The source of worldly antagonisms; VV4-6, the reporving spiritual unfaithfulness; and VV7-10, the plead for submission to God.

Exposition James 4:1-10

The POG (People Of God) are considered those who receive Him in repentance and are living for Him because His Words seeks they do so; the NPOG are the ones who reject and have the wrath of God remaining on them. God 's retribution is intended to bring people to repentance as an act of love.
