Current Sermon / Series

James 1:1-5, 12
James, a servant of God and of the Lord Jesus Christ, To the twelve tribes who are scattered throughout the nations: Greetings. 2 Consider it all joy, my brothers and sisters, whenever you face trials of many kinds, 3 knowing that the testing of your faith produces endurance. 4 And let endurance have its perfect result, so that you may be perfect and complete, lacking in nothing.

5 But if any of you lacks wisdom, let him ask of God, who gives to all generously and without reproach, and it will be given to him.

12 Blessed is a man who perseveres under trial; for once he has been approved, he will receive the crown of life which the Lord has promised to those who love Him.
