Following Jesus takes grit. You probably know that. James, the half-brother of Jesus, knew it too. In the New Testament book bearing his name, James writes to his fellow Christ-followers, calling us to a faith with grit. He knows life is gritty and calls out some stuff we may be tempted to gloss over. James shows us the real challenges are not without, but within. And he shows us how to face those challenges with the courage, perseverance, and love that God has already put in us. 

TOPIC: Praying with Grit

VERSES: James 5:13-18

PASTOR: Ben McEachern

Grit and prayer go together. If you have grit in your relationship with Jesus it's because you are persistent in talking to him. What is more, your prayers are gritty. They are about the stuff of life, the good the bad and the ugly. In this penultimate teaching in this letter James lands the plane here, exhorting us to pray with grit.
