Growing & Groaning,
You Can Grow As You Groan
Lifting weights is a ridiculous endeavor. You literally engage in an activity that tears and breaks down your muscles. And you’re sore the next day. Why! Why do you do this to yourself!
Because you know that this is how you grow stronger.
As we kick off a brand-new series called The Way, learning from the timeless wisdom of the letter of James, we’ll explore one of the most difficult, yet most important truths about the painful process of growth as disciples of Jesus.
Homework
– Talk to God about your pain
– Talk to yourself about your pain
– Recognize you may be stronger than you think
