Scripture: James 5:7-12

Big Idea: Our sureness of Christ’s return gives us endurance in trials and empowers us to overcome sin. His return will be worth the wait.

In this message, we explore how James calls believers to live with patient endurance, even in the face of suffering and injustice. As we wait for the Lord’s return, we are reminded:

  • Patience for the Coming of the Lord – Trusting God’s timing in all things.
  • Examples of Patience – From farmers to prophets to Job, Scripture offers powerful models of perseverance.
  • Temptations of Impatience – Grumbling, judging, and wavering hearts can steal our joy in the waiting.

Whether you’re in a season of trial or just longing for Christ’s return, this passage offers encouragement and hope.
