Sermon from James 1:5-8

January 18, 2026

Trials feels pointless—but Scripture says otherwise.In James 1:2–4, we’re confronted with one of the most challenging commands in the Bible: “Count it all joy when you face trials.” Why would God invite joy in suffering? And what if the pain you’re walking through right now isn’t meant to break you—but to build you?In this episode, we explore how trials test our faith, produce endurance, and shape us into mature, complete followers of Christ. You’ll discover why pain is often the tool God uses to form depth, resilience, and unshakable faith—and how perseverance leads to transformation.If you’re in a hard season, questioning God’s purpose, or wondering what your struggle is producing, this message is for you.Pain has a purpose. And it may be greater than you think.
