Welcome to the Harvest podcast. This weekend, we begin a brand-new series in the Book of James called True Religion. In the opening verses, James wastes no time—he goes straight to one of the hardest and most important parts of following Jesus: how we face trials.

Pastor Jeff Bucknam opens God’s Word in James 1:1–4 and reminds us that trouble will come, but trials are not meaningless. In God’s hands, they shape our faith, strengthen our perseverance, and form us into the likeness of Christ.

This message, Here Comes Trouble, will challenge you to think differently about suffering and to see how God is at work—even in the hardest moments of life.

Let’s listen in.

This podcast is a production of Harvest Bible Chapel in Chicago.
