2: Grace that shapes trials & temptations (1:2-18)

Felicity & Sarah discuss how the gospel impacts how we view suffering.James kicks off his letter in a way that shows us he isn’t afraid to tackle the harsh realities of life.  There is so much packed into these first few verses in James - we are simply beginning the conversation.  Questions to dig deeper, over a cup of tea:- How do you think about trials? - How do these verses challenge you? - How can they help you ‘consider’ trials a joy?  Where in your life do you need to ask for God’s wisdom to see them this way?- How do these verses enlarge your view of God’s steadfast character?Tea and Biscuit FootnotesSarah was eating a home-made Easter egg chocolate cookie, and drinking a cup of hot water.  Felicity was eating a chocolate finger and drinking Yorkshire Tea: Toast and Jam Brew but also had a backup cup of tea as well.Book Deal10ofThose are generously offering a further 15% discount across their store when you use the voucher code TWOSISTERS.
