Tune in as we look at how God has designed the community of believers to encourage one another in delight, joy, and celebration of knowing who God is & being known by Him.
Faith in Trials (BG)
June 27, 2021 • Kyle Wetzler • James 5:7–11, Mark 3:21, Mark 6:3–6, John 7:5, James 1:1–12
What makes you happy? Where does joy come from? James begins his letter with a perplexing command, “Count it all joy my brothers [and sisters] when you meet trials of various kinds, for you know that the testing of your faith produces steadfastness.” (James 1:2). Joy and trials seem to be at odds—normally we think we have one or the other—definitely not joy while suffering! However, James gives a reason for joy in the testing; he points out the testing of our faith has purpose. Our trials, or tests, shape us into the image of Christ. Knowing our trials have purpose gives us hope, and hope, in turn, grants us the ability to be resolute and endure.
