P5: A Disciple Is A Prayer

May 10, 2026    Ethan Harvey

What happens when suffering hits, wealth becomes a distraction, or someone begins to drift away from God? In the final week of our journey through the book of James, we discover that a true disciple responds with prayer, patience, and unwavering faith.


In this powerful conclusion to The Handbook for Christian Living, we examine:

• A disciple’s response to wealth

• A disciple’s response to suffering

• Why prayer is central to the Christian life


From the patience of the farmer, to the endurance of Job, to the fervent prayers of Elijah, James reminds us that mature believers do not give up in difficult seasons, they pray through them. This message challenges us to evaluate what has our heart, remain steadfast in trials, and passionately intercede for the suffering, the sick, the nation, and the backslidden.
