Wednesday - 10/17 - Read James 5:13-20
James indicates that a healing community of believers is not to just trust the Elders to be the ones praying for the church. We all are to be praying for one another.
James ties sin and sickness together in vv. 15,16. Why do you think he does this?
Could sin affect our health? How so?
Why would it be healthy for Christians to confess their sins to one another?
Why do you think it is so hard for Christians to do so today in our American church culture?
Are you part of a small group of some kind where you are getting to know people so intimately that you feel you can trust them by confessing your sins to them? Ouch! Maybe, maybe not.
Could many Christians be missing out on a whole new and necessary dimension of the Christian life by not being part of a group like this?
Have you thought of being part of a small group?
Read Hebrews 11:8 and Genesis 12:1-4 for next Sunday
