Show Notes

Today we begin a verse by verse study in the book of James. This series will challenge us to put our faith into action and allow the hard truths of James to convict and confirm that our faith is genuine. James speaks boldly, calling for lives that bear fruit and reflect true transformation. He opens his letter by encouraging believers who are facing trials—not by offering comfort alone, but by commanding us to consider it joy when we encounter them. But how can we possibly find joy in hardship? He opens his letter by encouraging believers who are facing trials—not by offering comfort alone, but by commanding us to consider it joy when we encounter them. But how can we possibly find joy in hardship? James reminds us that trials are actually opportunities—moments to align our thinking with God’s truth. Every challenge becomes a chance to discover a joy that is not fleeting but eternal. God allows trials because He is doing a deeper work in us, shaping us to be more like Christ. It’s through these trials that our faith is tested and refined, producing steadfastness that leads to spiritual maturity. As Charles Spurgeon once said, “Avoiding trials is avoiding God’s blessing.” So, how do you respond to the trials in your life? What greater work might God be doing in you through them?
