Pastor Jeff introduced our church-wide study of the book of James on this past Sunday. The overall theme for this study is derived from James 1:12 Blessed is the one who perseveres under trial because, having stood the test, that person will receive the crown of life that the Lord has promised to those who love him. We should all be striving to receive the crown of life which indicates spiritual maturity through obedience and endurance. Yes, there is a reward for those that remain true to the process of growing in Christ each day. James 1:4 Let perseverance finish its work so that you may be mature and complete, not lacking anything. Selah
