Pastor David Johnston

Overcoming Various Trials

James 1:2-12

The Christian life is full of many joyful blessings but also carries with it a unique set of sorrows and trials, and it is through these moments our professed faith is put to the test. It is through trials that the weaknesses of our own hearts are made apparent, doubts set in, and we may be tempted to give in to worldly wisdom or solutions to rescue us from our spiritual discomfort. In this passage, James provides us with the instructions we need in order to overcome life's trials and have our faith perfected. He says when we encounter trials, we need to do so in all joy, while seeking Godly wisdom in complete faith.

Nursery care is available during Sunday Service for infants through preschool.
