Today on Summit Life with J.D. Greer.

Remember the purpose of the Lord that you saw in the prophets and in Job how the Lord really is compassionate and

merciful. Can I say that we've seen it now somewhere even more convincing than in the prophets and Job in the cross and resurrection

We see the purpose of the Lord how he is indeed compassionate and merciful though we endure a crucifixion on Friday, we now know there's always

a resurrection coming on Sunday. Welcome back to Summit Life and thanks for joining us at the beginning of a life

transforming week of teaching here on the program. As always I'm your host Molly Vittevich. Today we're

continuing our brand new teaching series through the book of James and we're hearing

what chapter 5 has to say about patience. Pastor JD shows us how even in the midst of suffering

in the many challenges thrown at us by life,

we can be sure that God is working all things for our good

and our job is to be patient and wait on him.

So I won't make you wait any longer. Let's join Pastor J.D. in James Chapter 5 right now.

How do we develop patients? now.

How do we develop patients?

James is going to answer this through a couple of illustrations.

Illustration number one is the farmer and the seed.

Verse 7, see how the farmer waits for the precious fruit of the earth being

patient about it until it receives the early in the late rains?

So you also, you should be patient like that.

What does a farmer do after he plants the seed?

Answer, very little.

All he can do is wait.
