What are we supposed to DO with what we believe?

James 1:1-8, 12

Why a test of our faith?
< TENSION >

Spiritual maturity is about how enduring your faith is.

Spiritual maturity… to persevere in your faith when there’s nothing to hang your faithfulness on except the character & faithfulness of God.

God is most honored when we maintain faithfulness when there is nothing to hang our faithfulness on other than the person of Who He is

The Problem with Pain (C.S. Lewis)

Adversity is often the tool that God is going to use to develop your faith and perseverance.

Ask for wisdom* specific to your situation.
*to see life from God’s perspective.

Would you be willing to look at your trials through a different lens?
