Proverbs in New Testament Clothing

"Consider it pure joy my brothers and sisters, whenever you face trials of many kinds, because you know that the testing of your faith produces perseverance.”

We are often intimidated when trials and obstacles come our way; when in reality they should be approached with a joyful attitude, for through trials our faith is renewed. Commencing the first week of our study of the book of James, Pastor Levi touches on some of James’ most important teachings.

As a devoted servant of Christ, James teaches us about the importance of humility. He highlights the simple truth; that the only validation and recognition we need comes from God. Humility and thankfulness for what God has given us are the soil for a rich life. Pastor Levi brings two final elements to light, opportunity and perseverance. Both of which are crucial to welcoming trials as a part of walking and flourishing in the Christian life.
