Listen "Joy In The Struggle - James 1:1-4 (Rob Steele)"
Episode Synopsis
We all face trials—but how should followers of Jesus respond when life falls apart?This week we kick off our summer series in the book of James: A Faith That Works. James doesn’t ease us in—he starts with a bold command that feels upside-down: “Count it all joy when you meet trials of various kinds.”In this message, we explore what James really means by joy in the midst of hardship, how trials can grow spiritual grit (steadfastness), and what it looks like to become whole and complete in Christ—not just survive suffering, but be shaped by it.We’ll also see how Jesus is both our example and our hope—He endured the ultimate trial for the joy set before Him… and that joy was you.Whether you’re in a trial right now or walking alongside someone who is, this message is a call to anchor your faith—not in feelings, but in the unshakable love and presence of Christ.Need Prayer?
