God's Provision of Compassion (12 of 18)
Series: The If's, Ands and Buts of the Bible

James 5:11; Luke 15:11-24

Now take God's word and turn with me to first Luke 15 and put your finger there because that's where we're going to eventually land. And then turn to James 5 because that's where we're going to launch this message from as we get back to our study under the heading:

Now go to verse 11. Here in this 5th chapter James is talking about the perseverance of the prophets and says in verse 11, "Indeed we count them blessed who endure.
