    In James 1:9-12, James helps us understand that in order for us to persevere in our trials with joy, we must adopt God’s eternal perspective on poverty and wealth.

    With the sudden onslaught of the Worldwide pandemic, it seems appropriate to revisit the trials of Job.

    Throughout the centuries, the story of Job has been used to help people in times of sorrow and sickness.

However, ...read more

    Contributed by Jonathan Spurlock on Oct 28, 2022
     | 2,598 views

    James, the half-brother of the Lord Jesus, knew about trials and tests. His words to believers of his day are just as true for us of these days, too. In a sentence, he'd say "Endure the test and receive a reward".

    Full disclosure: this is edited from a message preached at First Baptist Church, Chamois, MO in August 2022 Introduction: Many of us think following Jesus is going to be a walk in the park, so to speak, but that isn’t always true. Certainly, as He promised, He’s there with us, but trials and tests ...read more
