Let's give praise to Jesus Christ who personally entered into all the miseries of life in order to lift us to Himself through them and from them. The message today is from James 1:1-4 and is entitled " Developing Christlike Character Through Trials ".
Our joy in trial is rooted in our assurance that the Lord is developing in us perseverance, toughness of faith in Him, while at the same time making us more sympathetic towards others suffering. We can trust that the Lord who loves us and gave His life for us on the cross, will make us better through our trials as we trust Him and not worse.
May God strengthen and encourage you through your worship of Him today and this coming week.
In Christ's Love,
Pastor Frank
