Thank you so much. This morning we want to continue the message from last week entitled, "Standing At the Door" from James chapter 5.

You have heard of the perseverance of Job and seen the end intended by the Lord - the Lord is very compassionate and merciful." Now look down on your outline, on the second page and notice the scripture under letter C.
