Joy Through Trials

Feb 15, 2015    Pastor Josh McPherson    James 1:2-4

James opens his letter with one of the most popular, mis-understood, mis-quoted texts on trials in all of the Bible. "Consider it pure joy whenever you face trials..." What in the world does that even mean? As Pastor Josh unpacks the text, the seemingly contradicting juxtaposition of joy and trials is cleared up and James' powerful and practical instructions for how to navigate trials shines through in this powerful message on how to think of and walk through trials of all kinds.
