We've started a new sermon series this week, working through the book of James. I have done Bible studies through it and read it many times, but never preached through it. I love James' abrupt but loving style. He speaks very straightforwardly, and uses many illustrations to get his point across.
Today's sermon takes in the first eight verses, and the main topic is learning through trials and difficulty. We all experience them, some are small, others threaten to overwhelm us completely. God uses them to teach us and work in us, so we should look at them with a joyful attitude. That's not always easy to do, but gradually, I believe we learn more and more to rely on God and depend on His help and wisdom.
Sermon, July 12
