Theme: James: Faith In Action
Brethren,
Happy new month and welcome to Q2 of 2022. Building on last quarter’s theme and objectives, our theme this quarter is ‘James – Faith in Action. We open the series with a look at ‘Turning Trials to Triumph.
Key Learnings:
1. Trials will come in varied form, magnitude, and timing. These trials, different from severe persecutions, would include social rejection and exclusions, loss of economic or material opportunities, etc. They are painful, nonetheless. And whereas the world teaches that there is no joy in pain, God expects believers to be joyful when they pass through trials and temptations.
2. The natural response to adversity is to escape it. But God uses trouble to mature His people. We can experience joy during trials if we focus on their purpose: Trials, wherever their origin, are the agents God uses to make us more mature and stronger in our faith.
3. Endurance, perseverance and patience amid trials and temptations, rather than trying to make sense of it, is how we turn trials to triumph.
