    James 1:2-4
Listen to the Audio Version:

What Suffering Causes

Instead of seeking the cause of suffering, celebrate what suffering causes.

Wisdom is the ability to navigate life well. We long to find the right response, the right words, the right approach as we face suffering or success, and as we manage relationships. The New Testament Epistle of James offers us the opportunity to pluck the practical wisdom of a disciple of Jesus and challenges us to make the choice to apply it to our lives everyday. Join us as we examine the tried-and-true wisdom of James—and discover how living out a wise faith can impact all aspects of our lives.

Homework

Work through James 1:2-4 with Jesus. Remember what he wants to do IN you – don’t waste a crisis.
