Are any of you suffering hardships? You should pray. Are any of you happy? You should sing praises. Are any of you sick? You should call for the elders of the church to come and pray over you, anointing you with oil in the name of the Lord. Such a prayer offered in faith will heal the sick, and the Lord will make you well. And if you have committed any sins, you will be forgiven. Confess your sins to each other and pray for each other so that you may be healed. The earnest prayer of a righteous person has great power and produces wonderful results. Elijah was as human as we are, and yet when he prayed earnestly that no rain would fall, none fell for three and a half years! Then, when he prayed again, the sky sent down rain and the earth began to yield its crops. My dear brothers and sisters, if someone among you wanders away from the truth and is brought back, you can be sure that whoever brings the sinner back from wandering will save that person from death and bring about the forgiveness of many sins.

Join me over the next three days as we reflect on some of the places we may forget Jesus is with us, what it means to wait on God, and how Jesus is with us during the good and the bad. Just like my song “There Was Jesus” says, “In the waiting, in the searching, in the healing and the hurting…there was Jesus.” Thanks for joining me. - Zach Williams
4 Days
This plan will explore what the letter of James teaches us about growing into maturity in four major areas. 1) WHO GOD IS: God’s character and nature 2) WHO WE ARE: the identity of humanity and/or believers 3) WHAT WE BELIEVE: core Christian doctrines 4) HOW WE LIVE: putting faith into action
This plan is intended as a guide to discovering the message of James for yourself! Grab a notebook to jot down your thoughts as you are led through a process of: 1) Observing the text of James 2) Interpreting its original message to James’ audience in the first century 3) Applying the letter’s timeless truths to your life today
In today’s society, it is easier to play the victim than to claim the victory we’ve been promised through Christ’s sacrifice during our struggles, grievances, and sufferings. Throughout this 4-day journey, you will not only learn how to identify the clear signs that you’re succumbing to a victim mentality, but you will also gain practical guidance to securing a “more-than-a-conqueror mindset.”
