Introduction

Not many of us are likely to say that we enjoy tests and trials—and yet, life is full of them. This week, Pastor J.D. begins a series through the book of James, a book filled with practical wisdom and valuable insight. When faced with trials, will you respond in faith? Or will you respond with anger, disappointment, or even despair? When we trust in God's character even in the midst of hardship, we can be sure that he is working to produce lasting fruit in us.
