About this sermon

Episode 3 from the series Adulting with Skip Heitzig. Watch the complete series: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_tKirtBLNko&list=PLtgtto5_Ad9XuPpZrPTSsfpPpkOw-aT4r&pp=iAQB An old English children’s game followed the poem “Tinker, Tailor, Soldier, Sailor, Rich Man, Poor Man, Beggar Man, Thief.” In the game, kids would try to determine what they would become later in life. Whether we become rich or poor, one thing is common to all—hardship. Trials are the great equalizer, bringing all of God’s children to depend on Him. James, with barefaced practicality, looked at the advantages of suffering for both the poor man and the rich man. HOW TO KNOW GOD Curious about what it means to know Jesus? Knowing God doesn't mean trying to be a good person or even going to church. It means accepting the free gift of forgiveness and eternal life made possible by Jesus' death and resurrection.
