Based on James 1:12-25, this week's message helps us to discern between a "trial" that draws us closer to Christ and a "temptation" that Satan uses to entice us away from Him. Called to simply "be who we are," Pastor Jeff's message focuses on the blessings the Lord brings upon us through the hard times we face. Declared righteous through faith in Jesus, we live righteously, that is, we walk in obedience to God's Word.
