Count It All Joy

James 1:2-11 | Undivided: Grace for Change from the Book of James | Trent Hunter James' first chapter is itself an introduction to the whole book. We might preach it in one sermon. But his language is so careful, his imagery so vivid, and his logic so subtle, that we do well to linger even on his introduction. He begins into the body of his letter with a direct attack on conventional wisdom: "Count it all joy when you meet trials of various kinds"? How can James say this and, more importantly, how can we say this? That's what we explore together in this sermon from James 1:2–11.
