Perseverance

Building anything worthwhile comes with setbacks, and following Jesus is no different. This week in “Under Construction,” we look at James 1 and unpack five kinds of trials that test our faith: shame over repeated sin, doubts from unanswered prayer, feeling spiritually dry, the danger of comfort, and hurt from others (inside and outside the church). James reminds us that testing produces perseverance, and perseverance leads to maturity, so we can look more like Jesus on the other side.
