When I asked the Lord for a message He put this one on my heart almost immediately! Then I thought - Wow - this is a tough topic.
One of the most common phrases we heard from our parents or one we also say to our kids…is BE PATIENT.
We are alive and impatient - No one is crushing that character quality - Driving/Social Media/Life’s Challenges/Independence - we want instantaneous results and satisfaction.
I invited the Jr High & High School students who are with us tonight to stay for the message.
God has been how patient with us?
James is a call to an uncomfortable place - It’s a call to do an uncomfortable thing - You have been called to live in the middle!
Most, if not all of you are thinking, “In the middle of what?”
Some theologians call it the ‘already’ and the ‘not yet.’ Already Christ has come. Already He has suffered and died and rose again.
We already have the Word of God and the Spirit has been given to us.
But not yet has sin been completely defeated. Not yet has the world been restored to what it was designed to be. Not yet has the Kingdom come.
So, we’re called to live right here in the middle of the ‘already’ and the ‘not yet’, thankful for God’s grace, but aware there’s more to come.
• Confession - I’m not good at it. I don’t like to wait - - What about you?
A girl named Patience…
If you could have a textbook on what it means to live with faith & patience in between the already and the not yet; it would be James.
• Let’s look at the context.
• This is not James the brother of John - The author is James, the son of Joseph & Mary - James the half brother of JESUS.
• Can you imagine that house as a brother? And my boys thought life was unfair sometimes…
• He went from not believing in Jesus until the resurrection - to being an early church leader - - Account in Acts 15.
• James has already addressed believers in the midst of their trials.
• So it was written to scattered Christians - telling them that trials are important in producing depth in their faith.
• That we need to believe God’s promises and strive to grow in the midst of these trials.
• Aren’t you glad you came tonight?
