Tried & True with Paul Cheng

Facing Trials With a Joyful Spirit [Part 2] (James 1:1-4)


Listen Later

Why do bad things happen to good people? In this sermon, Pastor Paul reveals the divine principle always at work in our lives; the blueprint we’re oblivious to while we ponder: “Why is God letting me suffer?”


In James 1:1-4, the Apostle singles out “patience” as the preeminent virtue obtained by passing God’s tests. He goes further to say that patience holds the power to make you “perfect”. What kind of patience is he talking about and how can it possibly perfect us?
