“For momentary, light affliction is producing for us an eternal weight of glory far beyond all comparison” (2 Corinthians 4:17).
James, the leader in Jerusalem, faced a world turned upside down. His message offers God's answer and resource for anyone facing crisis today.
The principle = “Don’t ask why, ask what.”
Three “what” questions survivors ask:
1. What can I control when my world falls apart?
2. What must I do to make it through today?
3. What hope do I have for tomorrow?
The answer = God’s sovereignty + goodness = He will take my worst circumstances and use them for my best if I will trust Him and not bail out of His spiritual maturity process.
I. The problem: sometimes we get “stuck” in our pain.
II. The solution: God promises help for those who are “stuck.” -Jas. 1:5-8
III. The one condition: We receive God’s wisdom only when we “ask in faith, without any doubting.”
Conclusion: Four things you must do to get unstuck
1. Admit you’re stuck
2. Admit you can’t do it on your own
3. Ask God for supernatural wisdom
4. Be willing to do whatever God’s wisdom demands of you

He had no desire to get involved in his father's ministry. He wanted to work in finance, travel the world, spend time with friends. But God clearly communicated to him one day that he was to serve in his father's organization, and that's just what he did. Now, after his father's tenure of 36 years, he has been given the mantle of this incredible organization that brings the Good News of God's Word to hundreds of thousands across Africa through dramatized audio bibles in the people's heart language. Hear more of his story this weekend on Missions Today!
