Thank you Paul for sharing today's lesson...
LESSON: How To Live With Confidence James 5:1-20
Biblical Truth: We can have confidence about our future and about the results of our prayers.

Confident Concerning Judgment - The wicked will be punished – James 5:1,4-6
James warned those who gained riches by oppressing others that they would one day face God's righteous judgment.

Confident About the Future - You future is secure - James 5:7-11

Christians can live with confidence because of the Lord's certain return.

Confident in Speech and About Prayer -

Your prayers are powerful - James 5:12-20

James urged Christians to always speak truthfully and pray for one another.
