"My brothers and sisters in Christ, reckon it and count it all cheerfulness, calm delight, and exceeding great joy when you are surrounded and engulfed by many many many tests, adversities, and trials that prove you and test you; knowing and understanding that this testing and trying of your trustworthiness, faith, moral conviction, consistency, and entire reliance upon Christ for salvation accomplishes cheerful endurance, constancy, and patience. Then hold onto that cheerful endurance and be held by it so that its accomplishing work may come to full maturity so that you also may reach full maturity and be complete and entire without blemish, lacking nothing: a completed masterpiece of God." James 1:2-4 (Pastor Rick's Version)

THE PURPOSE OF SUFFERING
"My brothers and sisters in Christ, reckon it and count it all cheerfulness, calm delight, and exceeding great joy when you are surrounded and engulfed by many many many tests, adversities, and trials that prove you and test you; knowing and understanding that this testing and trying of your trustworthiness, faith, moral conviction, consistency, and entire reliance upon Christ for salvation accomplishes cheerful endurance, constancy, and patience. Then hold onto that cheerful endurance and be held by it so that its accomplishing work may come to full maturity so that you also may reach full maturity and be complete and entire without blemish, lacking nothing: a completed masterpiece of God."

God's Waiting Room
Listen as Pastor Rick shares a sermon that is in some ways related to the last sermon about suffering. In this sermon, Pastor Rick reminds us to wait expectantly, patiently, and hopefully upon God. In His waiting room, may we find courage and strength for the journey and may we draw closer to Him.
