CLOSING PRAYER
Pastor Brandon Lenhart
In James 5:7, “Be patient, therefore, brothers, until the coming of the Lord.” Why does James start this section with the word “therefore” or “then?”
Why does James insert a seeming incongruous thought about
grumbling against one another in Verse 5:9?
grumbling against one another in Verse 5:9?
Why does James connect suffering with being patient until the
coming of the Lord?
coming of the Lord?
We read many places in the Bible about the Lord’s patience. In this particular instance, why does Peter say he is patient?
What does the Lord’s patience mean to all of us?
In closing, why did Peter instruct his readers to be on guard? What were his final instructions?
JOURNAL

Have you personally benefitted from God’s patience?
