I Heart Trouble

We are beginning our James series this Sunday. We begin right away with a very tough topic; dealing with troubles. James is basically an extension of the sermon on the mount. Essentially, James is a practical guide for us to live out the gospel; how do we live this out?

This Sunday we will give a bit of bio on James and why he is so important to understanding this letter. We will then consider what he has to say about suffering and trouble. Life isn't easy or fair and it rains on the just and the unjust. No where do we see that Believers are exempt from suffering and trouble. James says, "Count it all joy...WHEN you meet trials of various kinds..."

However, there is so much that comes with understand our suffering. We are going to unpack these first four verses and hear the real, gritty, inspiring story of Kathi Goertzen.
