Taking Hold of the Good in God’s Purpose
We must realize that the providential pains God allows in our lives are sent to build our endurance which is intended to make us mature and useful for every good work.
Our Proving Grounds
The Christian life is not easy, and Jesus told us to expect trials. In James, we discover what God is accomplishing through them. Testing is not a sign that God has abandoned us; rather, it is his sovereign means of maturing us and equipping us to do his will.
In this six-part series through James 1:1–18, Pastor Mike Fabarez shows us how to stand firm on the proving grounds that test our faith and hold fast to the goodness of God when life gets rough.
Finding Joy in God’s Unanticipated Plans
We must choose to rejoice as we learn to see God’s providential hand in the seasons of our lives we never would have chosen for ourselves.
