James 1:9-11 // The Only Wealth That Matters

In this study, we are reminded that earthly riches and status are fleeting, while our eternal inheritance in Christ is imperishable. As believers, we should find our joy and hope in Him, regardless of our socioeconomic circumstances. The Bible calls both the poor and the rich to focus on the reality of eternity, rather than temporary earthly conditions. This wisdom helps us maintain a proper perspective, especially in the face of trials and an uncertain future.

James 1:5-8 // Who God Gives Wisdom To

This message delves into the wonderful promise of James 1:5-8, which assures us that if we ask God for wisdom in our trials, He will generously provide it. BUT... there are conditions. And we'll dig into those in this study.

James 1.5-8 // Who God Gives Wisdom To

What is wisdom and how do we get it? In this study, we'll search the Scriptures for answers to these questions and learn why wisdom makes all the difference in our trials.

James 1:2-4 // Why God Tests You (Part 6)

What is God like in our trials? How does He receive us when we come to Him for help? As we continue examining the subject of trials sent or allowed by God into our lives, we'll spend some more time learning about the heart of God.

James 1:2-3 // Why God Tests You (Part 5)

God uses trials to test and refine our faith, revealing things like where we find our identity, hope, and sense of security. In this study, we'll illuminate more of the ways God works in our lives to do good through trials.

James 1:2-3 // Why God Tests You (Part 4)

When our faith is tested, we are invited to draw closer to the God who draws near to us in our trials. In this study, we'll explore more of the ways God works good in our lives through trials.

James 1:2-3 // Why God Tests You (Part 3)

One of the reasons God sends us trials is to reveal the genuineness (or lack thereof) of our faith. We'll talk about that in this study, as well as a profound perspective on trials that unfold in the aftermath of our failures.
