Following Jesus, Even Through Trials And Tests Series

Contributed by Jonathan Spurlock on Oct 28, 2022

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".

Contributed by Ron Ferguson on Apr 12, 2024

Suffocating In Worry

Contributed by D. Dewaine Phillips on Jan 30, 2022

Worry causes us to feel as though we’re grasping for breath and walking around half-dead. Worry zaps our life and drains our strength. In order to have true life in the Lord, we must place all our cares in the hands of Jesus Christ.

In anxiety and worry, my being is grasping for breath - these are not my native air. But in faith and confidence, I breathe freely - these are my native ...read more
