About this sermon

Pastor Josh McPherson preaches part 2 of our 2015 Winter/Spring series on the book of James. James opens his letter with one of the most popular, mis-understood, mis-quoted texts on trials in all of the Bible. "Consider it pure joy whenever you face trials..." What in the world does that even mean? As Pastor Josh unpacks the text, the seemingly contradicting juxtaposition of joy and trials is cleared up and James' powerful and practical instructions for how to navigate trials shines through in this powerful message on how to think of and walk through trials of all kinds.
