James give final instructions to the church

James gives instruction for our responsibility when waiting on God

James 5:1–6 calls for a prophetic accounting of how wealth is gained and trusted, warning against the false security riches promise. Echoing the cautions from 1 Timothy and Matthew, James reminds us that money can easily become an idol that masks injustice and tempts us to misuse power. Rather than placing our confidence in wealth, believers are called to pursue righteousness and justice in how they handle their resources. In the end, we are reminded that God—not riches—is our true refuge and security.

The Book of James deals a deck of wisdom, guiding us to live with faith, love, and discernment through actionable teachings, inspired by Proverbs and the Sermon on the Mount. Like a dealer laying out cards, James introduces God's wisdom as a gift, always there during trials, when we need guidance, and when tempted to be selfish or petty. Join Horizon for James: LIVE AND LOVE WISELY, a verse-by-verse study.

New Testament Reading Hebrews 10:19-31 (p. 1007)

James warns the church of the danger of materialism

Living Proof; James 2:14-26

Faith waits patiently, prays persistently, and gives generously. Real faith prays persistently, waits patiently, and lives generously. It holds on to hope in every season and helps bring others back to Jesus.

Power Lines: When Faith Makes Room for Miracles (James 5:12–20) Prayer connects heaven and earth. Faith reaches out, not with control but with expectation — making space for God to do what only He can do. Wherever you are on your journey of faith, we're so glad you're here.

Old Testament Reading 1 Kings 17:1-7 / 18:1-6

In James 5:1–6, James makes sure that the stuff we chase in this life is no better off than our own temporary lives. Using the imagery of "fattened hearts," James warns against profiting off of others to benefit ourselves. The truth of the gospel is that our security is not found in the temporary, but in what God has freely given to us in the Lord Jesus Christ.

Because Jesus is near, we can wait with patient endurance. Not because the waiting will be short, but because we're not waiting alone.

Life constantly presents us with choices between two opposing kingdoms: the earthly kingdom focused on immediate gratification and self-interest, and God's eternal kingdom centered on future hope and caring for others. The earthly kingdom operates on flexible rules and temporary pleasures, while God's kingdom stands on unchanging principles and lasting values. When we align with God's kingdom, our character fundamentally changes, affecting how we handle both suffering and joy. Instead of turning to worldly sources for comfort, we turn to prayer and community. This transformation isn't a one-time decision but requires daily choices to seek God's way over our own temporary desires.

Penn was passionate about Church History and Hermeneutics. He taught Church History seminars in several states and conducted Church History tours in the U.S. and abroad in France and Italy.

Today’s Bible Verse “Be patient, then, brothers and sisters, until the Lord’s coming. See how the farmer waits for the land to yield its valuable crop, patiently waiting for the autumn and spring rains.” — James 5:7 (NIV) James 5:7 reminds us that waiting is not wasted time when it’s rooted in trust. Using the image of a farmer, Scripture teaches us that growth happens beneath the surface long before it’s visible. Patience is not passive—it’s an active reliance on God’s timing and provision.

In the second part of the "My Job Depends on Ag" series, this sermon addresses the often-dreaded spiritual discipline of waiting. We frequently try to avoid praying for patience to dodge trials, but trials are inevitable. The question isn't if we will wait, but how. Using James' analogy of the farmer, we see that waiting is not passive; it is an active, expectant dependence on God for a harvest we cannot control.Scripture ReferencesJames 5:7-11: "Be patient then, brothers and sisters, until the Lord's coming. See how the farmer waits... patiently waiting for the autumn and spring rains."Psalm 27:14: "Wait for the Lord; be strong and take heart and wait for the Lord."Isaiah 40:31: "But those who wait on the Lord shall renew their strength..."2 Timothy 2:3-6: Paul uses the soldier, athlete, and the hard-working farmer as examples of perseverance.1 Corinthians 13:4-7: "Love is patient... love always perseveres."Mark 4:26-29: The parable of the growing seed, illustrating the slow, mysterious nature of Kingdom growth.Key PointsWaiting is Active, Not Passive James points to the farmer who waits for the rains. For a first-century farmer, this wasn't leisurely; it was survival. His life depended on conditions outside his control. Similarly, waiting on God is an active posture of looking to Him as our source, surrendering our need for control.Why We WaitTo kill entitlement: Waiting cures the "Veruca Salt syndrome" ("I want it now!").To look to God: Waiting shifts our focus from the thing we want to the One who provides it.To develop character: Patience is essential for spiritual maturity.Hurry is the Enemy of Love First Corinthians 13 begins with "Love is patient" and ends with "Love perseveres." If we cannot wait, we cannot love. Hurry makes us incapable of connecting with God and others. Patience is simply the ability to wait with a heart of peace and hope.The Kingdom Grows Slowly Jesus' parable of the seed (Mark 4) shows that Kingdom growth is often mundane, slow, and invisible. While we love "Pentecost moments," most growth happens through small, daily acts of obedience—prayer, listening, and faithfulness over time.ConclusionWaiting is not forever. James reminds us to be patient until the Lord's coming. Jesus, the ultimate Farmer, patiently suffered on the cross to forgive our impatience and secure our future. Whether He breaks through in this life or at His return, the wait will end. Until then, we are called to practice "slowing"—deliberately placing ourselves in positions where we must wait—to cultivate a heart of patience.Calls to ActionShift Your Perspective: View waiting not as a nuisance but as "patience practice"—an opportunity for your heart to grow.Practice "Slowing":Drive in one lane at the speed limit and use the time to pray.Listen to people without your phone in your hand.Take deliberate breaks from technology.Pray for Patience: Stop avoiding it. Ask God for the grace to wait well.Receive Prayer: If you are in a painful season of waiting, come forward for prayer to receive strength to persevere.
