Life Lessons from James: Part I – “Passing the Tests in Life”

from Covenant Community Church Indianapolis · host Dr. Wallace O. McLaughlin, M.Div., Ph.D.

Today, we begin a new sermon series on the subject: “Life Lessons from James, Part I – “Passing the Tests in Life.” We know that trials, even the most profound ones are a gift from God. But in this message, Pastor Wallace teaches us that spiritual maturity is not attained by merely experiencing trials – it is attained by embracing them. Putting faith too work in your life has more to do with how you respond to trouble (trials and tests) than perhaps anything else in your life. So, is it any wonder that James begins to challenge the believer to bring his/her faith down to earth – making our faith real – that he immediately launches into giving us the truth about testing and temptations. In this message, Pastor Wallace gives us three things we can learn about the tests of life: 1) The Fact of Temptation; 2) The Forms of Temptation; 3) The Force of Temptation; and 4) The Facing of Temptation. Support the show
