“Biblical Patience is Christ-dependent endurance.”

James 5:7-11

Three examples of when we need an extra dose of patience:

  1. When our circumstances are uncontrollable. The Farmer - James 5:7-9
  1. When people are unchangeable. The Prophets - James 5:10
  1. When our problems are unexplainable. Job - James 5:11

Application:

  1. Develop new perspective. Proverbs 19:11; 20:24; 14:29
  1. Develop a sense of humor. Proverbs 14:30; 17:22
  1. Deepen your love. 1 Corinthians 13:4
  1. Depend on God. Psalm 37:7; 2 Peter 3:15
