When the Going Gets Tough

SHOW ME YOUR FAITH OverviewThe single greatest criticism of the church in western society seems to be that there is a huge gap between what the church says and what the church does. A little under two thousand years ago, James the Brother of Jesus, calls the Christians of his time to account for the massive divide between their words and their actions. From their treatment of the poor to their dealing with trials and temptation. From emotional resilience to the content of their conversations. James calls the people of God back to living their message in both word and action.Join us as we take a look at the most practical book in the New Testament and seek clarity on what it might look like to live life to the full in 2018.Wk 1: When the going gets toughWe all know how the sentence is supposed to finish, but many times “…the tough get going!” are not words that we could readily use to describe ourselves.
