Noah Herrin concludes an 11-week, verse-by-verse series through James by pressing two practical marks of a mature Christian: prayer and confession. Using James 5:13-20 he urges Christians to make prayer a continual priority - in good times and bad - because “the prayer of a righteous person is powerful and effective.” He teaches that confession should go beyond private prayers to God: confessing sin to trusted others brings healing and freedom. Herrin illustrates these truths with personal stories (his own coming back to faith because a roommate persisted) and practical invitations to be a praying, restorative community that brings people back to Jesus, especially ahead of Easter.
“Whoever turns a sinner from the error of their way will save them from death and cover over a multitude of sins.” · Noah Herrin
Take it with you
Make prayer a daily priority - not only in crisis but in every season. If you struggle with a recurring sin, confess it to a trusted, committed believer for accountability and healing. Be persistent and compassionate in reaching those who’ve wandered; bring someone to church (especially Easter) and pray for opportunities to help turn them back to Jesus. Join or form small groups/regular prayer times (Way Church's WayMakers is one example) to build this discipline corporately.
