Summary
Bro Mike teaches from James 1:2-8 about how God uses trials and tribulations to develop spiritual endurance in believers. He explains that Christians should count it all joy when facing diverse temptations because these tests are God’s way of developing our faith and making us complete. He emphasizes that God wants believers to become the best version of themselves, and this can only happen through trials that test our faith. He warns against wavering faith and discusses the concept of ‘double-minded’ Christians who have developed a second soul through demonic influence, making them unstable in all their ways. The key is to embrace trials as training from God rather than complaining about them, developing unwavering faith that leads to answered prayers.
Intro Prayer
Heavenly Father, we come before You today with open hearts and minds, ready to receive what You want to teach us through Your Word. Help us to understand the deep truths You have for us in James chapter 1. Give us wisdom to see our trials and challenges through Your eyes, and help us to be receptive to the spiritual growth You desire to work in our lives. Holy Spirit, guide our discussion and help us to apply these truths practically. In Jesus’ name, Amen.
Ice Breaker
What’s one skill or talent you had to practice repeatedly before you became good at it, and how did that process of practice and testing help you improve?
