Listen "May 25, 2025 - James"
Episode Synopsis
Pastor Steve Gill kicks off our series on the book of James, tackling James 1:1-4.
Today’s Key Ideas:
-God uses the challenges of life to shape the character of Christ in us.
-God uses trials to grow our faith, not to crush it.
-Trials happen so that we may have a character-changing faith rather than a compartmentalized faith.
○ Part of my maturing is learning to walk through the enduring.
○ Rough air produces real disciples.
Today’s Application:
1. What is one recent difficulty I’ve faced—and how might God be using it to grow me?
2. What is my response to God in this trial? Is it joy or anger? Is it patience or giving up? How we respond correlates the work that he can do in us.
