February 7, 2021 • Rev. Jeremy A. McKeen • James 1:2–4
Trials are an inevitable part of life in a fallen world. Naturally, we ask ourselves, how do I avoid the trial, remove the trial, or get out of the trial. But what if there was a better question that we should be asking—how should I face the trial? In this message, James teaches us how to face the various trials of life and to do so with joy.
