Now that we have wrapped up our summer sermon series from the book of Ephesians, we continue journeying through our lectionary texts, with a mini- series, from the book of James. This mini-series will carry us through until we begin our Church-Wide Sermon Series on The Five Practices of Fruitful Living!

This week’s message will focus on James 1: verses 2-8 and 16-18. This is a rich passage that speaks to the trials and temptations that we all experience in the Christian life that test our faith. This passage offers encouragement to persevere in light of these trails, as we seek wisdom from God. It reminds us that when we ask for God’s help, we must believe and not doubt. Instead, in light of our doubts, and in light of our fears, we should have faith, as we trust in our unchanging God.
