When Joy Meets Trial | James 1:1-18 | Faith That Works

In the 1980s, the Biosphere 2 project discovered that trees grown in a perfect environment—with no wind—eventually collapsed under their own weight. They lacked the "stress wood" that only comes through resistance.

In this sermon on James 1:1–18, we explore how God uses the "winds" of life to build that same structural integrity in our souls. Whether you are facing the "scorching heat" of financial loss, the pressure of persecution, or the internal struggle of temptation, James directs our eyes to the unchanging Father of Lights.
