James 5:13-15
This passage helps us understand the important ministry of the local church in our lives during times of sin, sickness and suffering. It requires careful interpretation so that we can avoid errors and receive what the Scripture teaches. This morning we will go through the text phrase by phrase.
13 anyone suffering or cheerful
14 sick let him call the elders
14 pray over him anointing him with oil
14, 15 in the name of the Lord and the prayer of faith
15 will save the one who is sick
15 sins will be forgiven
