Join Pastor Stuart in the tenth lesson in our series about Joy.

This week, we turn our attention to the Letter of James 1:2-4 to hear the exhortation to, "Count it all joy, my brothers, when you meet trials of various kinds." In this sermon, Pastor Stuart teaches about . . . "Joy During Difficulties "

We can have joy even in difficult, challenging, or painful circumstances.
This joy isn’t found in the circumstances themselves.
Joy during difficulties is found in how we consider the circumstances.
God is at work even in our most troublesome moments to make us perfect and complete in Christ.
Even though we may be tempted to doubt these truths, Jesus deepens our faith.
Therefore, when facing any difficulty of life, remind yourself of how the Spirit is at work in you and in others.
So, by the work of the Spirit, let’s grow in finding joy even in the midst of troubling times.

In concert with this sermon series on Joy, please consider taking some time to listen to the sermon Pastor Stuart preached earlier this year at our April 10th 2022 worship service.
