Life is full of spiritual tests—but can you pass them? In this eye-opening message, Pastor Steve Perez dives into James 1 to reveal the purpose of trials and how God uses tests to shape our character, strengthen our faith, and produce wisdom.

Through biblical insights and personal testimonies, this sermon challenges us to embrace trials with joy, trust God’s process, and endure with faith. You don’t have to keep repeating the same lessons—God is preparing you for greater things!
