How Faith Works - James 1:1-12

“We can’t go over it.  We can’t go under it.  We’ve got to go through it.”  So it is with the trials of life.  Much as we may want to “go over them” or “under them” to get away from them, we’ve got to “go through them” because, quite simply, that’s the way life works.   This weekend, we begin a new series of sermon from the New Testament book of James called Making Faith Work.  The first subject James tackles is the subject of trials – the trials of life.  You may recall that we explored that very subject three weeks ago as we grappled with suffering in light of eternity.  James 1:1-12 is an excellent sequel to that sermon and extremely practical, too.  God inspired James to tell us how trials work when you are a follower of Jesus Christ.  We’ll learn what role attitude, wisdom and money play in navigating life’s trials.  I look forward to exploring God’s truth with you!
