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

"Count it all joy, my brothers, when you meet trials of many kinds." How is this possible? In this week's sermon from First Reformed Church in Edgerton, MN, we look at the internal work of the Holy Spirit during times of pressure. Using the biological reality of "stress wood," we learn how God uses the very things we want to escape to make us "perfect and complete, lacking in nothing".

Key takeaway: Your trial is not a sign of God’s absence, but a tool of His grace to anchor you in Christ.
