When Life Is Hard – God Is Working | John Lindell

from James River Church Video Podcast · host James River Church

Why does God allow trials when life feels so hard? In this message from Pastor John Lindell, we learn from James 1:1–12 how God is actively at work through trials—developing perseverance, maturity, and spiritual depth even when circumstances are difficult. Our prayer is that as you face challenges, you would respond with joy, faith, and wisdom, trusting that God is using every season to strengthen you and prepare you for the crown of life He has promised.
