Perspective and Prayer for Troubling Times
The prayer of a righteous person has great power as it is working. (James 5:16)
Having studied the book of James, and most recently what James teaches us about the prayer of faith, this sermon gave voice to some much-needed God-shaped perspective and led us into prayer for:
- A creation subjected to futility, in bondage to corruption, and groaning
- Violence, oppression, injustice, and terror
- Those who are in and may soon be placed in high positions of authority
- The present suffering of Christians in some parts of the world and the possibility of persecution in our own future
- Those who have never responded to the truth and those who have wandered from the truth
