CLOSING PRAYER
Pastor Brandon Lenhart
hey
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?
Why does James connect suffering with being patient until the
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?
hey
JOURNAL
When someone promised you something important and then failed to deliver, how did you feel?

With what sort of people do you find it difficult to be patient?

Have you personally benefitted from God’s patience?
When?
How?














APPLICATION
What are some whys in which you can practice and grow this week in the “grace and knowledge of Christ?”













MEMORY VERSE
Matthew 1:21
“And she will have a son, and you are to name him Jesus,
for he will save his people from their sins.”
