Prayer and Pursuit in a Broken World (11 of 11)
Series: James: A Faith that Works

James 5:13-20
ILLUS. - The US Army has a Warrior Ethos that states the following, ''I will always place the mission first, I will never accept defeat, I will never quit, and I will never leave a fallen comrade.''- It's mission centered... it conveys commitment... and it ties them together.

As he brings his letter to a close and he comes back to the topics of suffering as we saw last week... he encourages perseverance... and this week... prayer and pursuit of the wanderer.
Today we are going to see the importance of Prayer and Pursuit in a Broken World. - If we are goings to persevere... we need to pray for one another, and pursue one another if we wander. ?
