Waiting is not wasting. In this week’s message from The Good Life series, we explore what it means to navigate life’s trials with faith and endurance. Whether you’re facing hardship because of your own choices or suffering for reasons beyond your control, God can use your pain for growth and transformation.Instead of asking “Why is this happening?”, James challenges us to ask “What is God doing in me through this?”.Jesus says come as you are—but He loves you too much to leave you there. That includes how we face trials—with joy, trust, and steadfast hope.📖 Key Scriptures:James 1:2–4 – Trials grow endurance and maturityJames 5:7–11 – Patience in suffering like the prophets and JobJob’s story – God’s mercy and kindness even in suffering💡 Message Highlights:Move from asking “Why?” to asking “What?”Trials of correction vs. trials of perfection—and how God uses bothPatience produces harvest—trust God’s timingWaiting is not wasting—God is always working behind the scenesThe truth always defeats a lieIf you’ve ever wondered where God is in your pain, this message will help you see trials not as punishment—but as opportunities for growth, endurance, and deeper faith.#TheGoodLife #NavigatingTrials #CypressChurch #ColumbusOhioChurch #James1 #EnduranceInFaith #PatienceInSuffering #TrustGodsTiming #FaithInHardship #ChristianLiving #JesusChangesEverything #onlinechurch Cypress Church, located in Columbus, Ohio, is a vibrant, welcoming church dedicated to helping lead people to Christ and provide steps to follow after him.
