James 5:19-20 | August 10, 2025 | Pastor Josh Goertzen

In this powerful message, we're challenged to consider our responsibility in restoring those who have wandered from their faith. The book of James reminds us that we all share this crucial task within the body of Christ. It's not just about our own spiritual journey, but about caring deeply for those around us. The imagery of a boulder rolling down a mountain vividly illustrates how sin can quickly spiral out of control. Yet, there's hope. We're called to lovingly pursue those who've strayed, offering them the precious rewards that come with returning to Jesus - salvation from spiritual death and the covering of a multitude of sins. This message urges us to cultivate meaningful relationships within our church community, allowing us to notice when someone begins to wander and to act with love and urgency. It's a call to move beyond Sunday attendance and truly invest in each other's spiritual well-being.
