Ep. 87 The Trials of Adversity and Prosperity | James 1: 9-12
In this episode, in our series on the book of James, the guys unpack James 1:9-12. After offering basic instruction on how to respond to trials in general in James 1:2-8, James now addresses a specific trial or test that his readers are facing. Some are impoverished and others are rich. Though it may not appear this way on the surface, both of these conditions— adversity and prosperity— provide unique temptations. As a result, they must be treated with unique solutions. In James 1:9-12, James informs each group as to how they are to navigate their situation. And he offers wonderful motivation to the one who remains steadfast in his trial.
