How much are you willing to sacrifice to build a place where you will finally feel safe? The sermon opens with a town flattened by a tornado and the decision to fit every building with a shelter, then turns to the fifth chapter of James (James 5), where a warning to the rich sits right beside a call to wait patiently for the return of Jesus. The speaker shows that our private version of paradise is usually built at other people’s expense, and that the good news is this: God himself supplies the strength to wait. Listen if your patience is wearing thin.
Patience
There Is Power
Everyone would like to be able to love more deeply, enjoy life more fully, live more peacefully, and show more patience, kindness, and self-control. That’s a better way to live, because character matters more than abilities. Such a life is also possible thanks to the work of the Holy Spirit, who transforms us from within in a way that is visible on the outside. THERE IS POWER to change!
