On this episode we focus on James 1:2-4 " Consider it pure joy, my brothers and sisters, whenever you face trials of many kinds, because you know that the testing of your faith produces perseverance. Let perseverance finish its work so that you may be mature and complete, not lacking anything."

Jesus tells us that in this world we will have many trials, but take heart because he has overcome the world.

Trials, difficulties, adversity and suffering don't have to paralyze you with fear. In Christ, we can face them with confidence, joy and peace knowing that He is right by our side.

Why is the resurrection of Jesus from the dead so important to our Christian faith? Because without the resurrection our preaching is pointless our faith is useless and we are still in our sins. The fact that Jesus was raised from the dead validates that He is God, that His sacrifice was accepted and that we now worship a living Savior!

"We want to build a church that attracts the presence of God and the presence of God attracts the people."

You attract the presence of God through humility, repentance, reading His Word, prayer, praise and worship.
