James 5:13-20
[13] Are any of you suffering hardships? You should pray. Are any of you happy? You should sing praises. [14] Are any of you sick? You should call for the elders of the church to come and pray over you, anointing you with oil in the name of the Lord. [15] Such a prayer offered in faith will heal the sick, and the Lord will make you well. And if you have committed any sins, you will be forgiven. [16] Confess your sins to each other and pray for each other so that you may be healed. The earnest prayer of a righteous person has great power and produces wonderful results. [17] Elijah was as human as we are, and yet when he prayed earnestly that no rain would fall, none fell for three and a half years! [18] Then, when he prayed again, the sky sent down rain and the earth began to yield its crops. [19] My dear brothers and sisters, if someone among you wanders away from the truth and is brought back, [20] you can be sure that whoever brings the sinner back from wandering will save that person from death and bring about the forgiveness of many sins.

Hebrews 4:14-16
[14] So then, since we have a great High Priest who has entered heaven, Jesus the Son of God, let us hold firmly to what we believe. [15] This High Priest of ours understands our weaknesses, for he faced all of the same testings we do, yet he did not sin. [16] So let us come boldly to the throne of our gracious God. There we will receive his mercy, and we will find grace to help us when we need it most.



As you read this, please understand that the above words are applicable to you right now, wherever you may be located, and in whatever situation you may find yourself in. We in this chapel are here for you. We'll lift you in prayer, rejoice with you, and even weep with you if the situation warrants. You who are reading this- please know that you're not alone, and there's no situation that you may be in where Jesus will not come to your aid.

Thank you, tinhorn. We are stronger together, then we could ever be apart.

This is the true power of "fellowship." It is NOT just "a nice thing to do." It has real power, and there's wise counsel in gathering ourselves together. All of which strengthen us, while all about us is trying to weaken us. Do we worship a wonderful and wise God, or what?
