What A Christian Has...
from Columbus Evangelical Church Sermons · host Michael Sweet
Sometimes followers of Jesus can fall for a powerful and destructive lie. This lie says that if we follow Jesus, we’ll no longer have trouble and trials. Now we may recognize with our mind that this is a lie… after all Jesus himself says “In this world you will have trouble” (John 16:33, NIV). But sometimes our heart can be fooled and blindsided when we encounter trials and hardship. This Sunday, we will explore James 1:1-18, which reminds us of the strength and perseverance that come through faith. James encourages believers to view trials as opportunities for growth. By facing challenges with patience and wisdom, we allow our faith to mature and gain deeper understanding. Join us in reflecting on how these verses can inspire us to embrace life's difficulties and lean on God's wisdom.
