Patience Needed James 5: 7-11 Summary: Have you ever been really, really hungry? If you have, you know that it can be hard to be patient until your next meal. But if you know that your mom and dad are making your favorite meal for dinner, it makes it easier to endure the hunger pains you have now. In the same way, it can be hard for us to be patient when things in our lives are hard, or when we are being treated badly by other people because we are Christians. In our passage this morning, we learn that even during these hard times God calls us to wait patiently because we know that one day soon Jesus will come back and make everything better. Outline: 1.
