“When You are Faced with Trials” (James 1:2-12)
Rev. Brian Lee
I. Know the Purpose of Trials (vv.2-4)
Trial → Tested Faith → Endurance → ___________________
II. Two different Approaches (vv. 2, 5-8)
Consider it Joy
Ask for Wisdom
III. Two different Responses (vv. 9-12)
The humble brother (Believer) - Reward
The rich (Non Believer) – Fade away
IV. Application
Knowing that trials come whether you want them or not, how can you better prepare yourself to deal with various trials?
Do you know the benefits of the suffering, pain, and frustration that you or your family is going through right now? Share with one another.
If any of you lack wisdom, ask God who gives generously to all and it will be given to you. (James 1:5)
