2. CONCERNED
PASTOR,
CARING PEOPLE

3. 13 Is any one of you in trouble? He
should pray. Is anyone happy? Let him
sing songs of praise. 14 Is anyone of you
sick? He should call the elders of the
church to pray over him and anoint him
with oil in the Name of the Lord.
JAMES 5:13-20

4. 15 And the prayer offered in faith will
make the sick person well; the Lord will
raise him up. If he has sinned, he will
be forgiven. 16 Therefore confess your
sins to each other and pray for each
other so that you may be healed. The
prayer of a righteous man is powerful
and effective.
JAMES 5:13-20

5. 17 Elijah was a man just like us. He
prayed earnestly that it would not rain,
and it did not rain on the land for three
and a half years. 18 Again he prayed,
and the Heavens gave rain, and the
earth produced its crops.
JAMES 5:13-20

6. 19 My brothers, if one of you should
wander from the truth and someone
should bring him back. 20 Remember
this: Whoever turns a sinner from the
error of his way will save him from
death and cover a multitude of sins.
JAMES 5:13-20

15. PRAYER

16. What that means is that the way that a
Church grows in love and unity is by
being aware of the experiences of all
people and praying across the entire
Church.

17. “James’ knees grew
hard like a camel’s
because of his constant
worship of God,
kneeling and asking
forgiveness for his
people.”
-Eusebius

18. Ministry begins with God’s Heart for
God’s people .

19. HOW CAN WE
PRAYFOR EACH
OTHER?

20. ARE YOU
SUFFERING?

21. 13 Is any one of you in trouble? He
should pray. Is anyone happy? Let him
sing songs of praise.
JAMES 5:13

22. It’s a hard season for you,
It’s a difficult season for you,
It’s a dark season for you.
Is that you?
Are you suffering?

25. God always answers prayer,
and sometimes it’s YES,
and sometimes it’s NO,
and sometimes it’s LATER,
BUT HE ALWAYS ANSWERS.

26. PRAYER IS A
RESPONSIBILITY

27. Prayer gets you to agree with God.
Oftentimes, when people are suffering,
they think that prayer will make God
change his mind.

28. Is anyone among you suffering?
Let Him Pray.

29. Now, for those of you who are suffering,
we need you to see that this is your
responsibility. You can pray for yourself,
and before you ask others to pray for
you, you need to be praying.

30. ARE YOU
CHEERFUL?

31. Are you cheerful?
You should sing.
And when we sing, what we’re doing is
we’re celebrating, we’re rejoicing.

32. What we’re doing is we’re thanking God
for that which we’re cheerful for so that
it doesn’t become for us just gratitude
for our circumstances.

33. And for those of you who aren’t
cheerful, start singing and
see if you don’t start rejoicing.

34. ARE YOU
SICK?

35. 14 Is anyone of you sick? He should call
the elders of the church to pray over
him and anoint him with oil in the
Name of the Lord.
JAMES 5:14-16

36. 15 And the prayer offered in faith will
make the sick person well; the Lord will
raise him up. If he has sinned, he will
be forgiven. 16 Therefore confess your
sins to each other and pray for each
other so that you may be healed. The
prayer of a righteous man is powerful
and effective.
JAMES 5:14-16

37. What do we
dowith
sick people?

38. “Let him call for the elders of the church,
and let them pray over him, anointing
him with oil in the name of the Lord.”
We get Jesus involved.

39. Jesus Still Heals.
He’s still alive. He’s still ruling
and reigning. He still hears
and answers prayer.
And He still heals people.

40. There are
two errors:

41. He Has
ToHeal
Everybody

42. hecan’t
Heal
anybody

43. It’s not that everybody gets healed
and nobody gets healed,
but He decides who He heals.

44. We’re talking about the church and the
elders in the church. We’re a bible-
believing church, and the elders are also
called pastors, and these are the senior
leaders, and we believe in all of this.

48. DOYOUTRUST
PRAYER?

49. 16 Therefore confess your sins to each
other and pray for each other so that
you may be healed. The prayer of a
righteous man is powerful and
effective.
JAMES 5:16-18

50. 17 Elijah was a man just like us. He
prayed earnestly that it would not rain,
and it did not rain on the land for three
and a half years. 18 Again he prayed,
and the Heavens gave rain, and the
earth produced its crops.
JAMES 5:16-18

51. Godis
ourFather

52. The key to prayer is always
understanding God’s a Father, we’re His
kids. If we believe that we have a good
Dad who loves us, we’ll talk to Him.

53. You forget that Jesus is your
righteousness and mediator, and that
your righteousness is in Christ.

54. You’re in the position of Christ and that
the Father loves you as much as He loves
the Son, and He hears you because you
pray through the Son. He’s your
righteousness.

55. Prayer

56. WHO HAS
WANDERED?

57. 19 My brothers, if one of you should
wander from the truth and someone
should bring him back. 20 Remember
this: Whoever turns a sinner from the
error of his way will save him from
death and cover a multitude of sins.
JAMES 5:19-20

62. Not everyone in the church will be a
pastor, but everyone in the church
should have a pastor’s heart.
