A Faith That Endures (pt.1)

Jun 04, 2023

Passage: James 1:1-4

Preacher: Rob Holster

Series: The Rules of Following Jesus

Summary:

James is a unique book–unlike any other in the New Testament–but also very helpful in our walk with Christ. Sometimes we just need advice–instruction–rules to live by. James provides them. God speaks through this book to tell us what to do–not just what to think. And quite frankly–we need that. We need faith when things aren't going our way, or when things get difficult, or when we're just confused about how to move forward. This book helps us to know what to do–and as we'll see this week it encourages us to have a faith that endures. There will be trials in our lives–we can be sure of that. Being a Christian doesn't exempt us from suffering. But the suffering itself is actually a gift from God to build us up–to allow us to endure–to be steadfast when our world is falling apart. We're going to see the connection between prayer and faith. For we pray out of faith. We receive wisdom from God by faith. What is lacking in our prayer life? What is lacking in our lives in general? It's confidence in God.
