Today we celebrate the Glorious Apostle James, the Brother of our Lord. Saint James was the son from a previous marriage of the Righteous Joseph, the Betrothed of the Holy Theotokos, thus making him the step brother of Christ. He was also one of the Lord’s apostles and the first Bishop of Jerusalem. He presided over the first Apostolic Council (Acts 15) and converted many Jews to Christianity. He wrote the oldest known Liturgy bearing his name, which is celebrated every year even up until today on the feast day of Saint James. This Liturgy became the basis of those of Saints Basil and John Chrysostom. He is also the author of one of the letters of the New Testament which bears his name. Because of his mass conversions of Jews to Christianity, the Scribes and Pharisees grew jealous and enraged and plotted to murder him. They took him to the pinnacle of the Temple of Jerusalem and threw him off the roof. Thus the Holy Apostolic Martyr gave up his soul to the Lord in around the year 63AD. May he intercede for us always + #saint #james #jacob #iakovos #apostle #brother #disciple #gospel #bible #holybible #saintjames #stjames #joseph #mary #panagia #theotokos #jews #pharisees #scribes #liturgy #divineliturgy #apostolic #bookofjames #orthodox #saintoftheday (at Jerusalem Palestine) https://www.instagram.com/p/CkBsJy3LERi/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Whenever people are jealous or selfish, they cause trouble and do all sorts of cruel things.

Belief Determines Conduct Through my Attitude of Trials

Sermon Recap

What do you do when things don’t turn out as you expected? How do you respond when faced with a difficult situation? Do you grow stronger or grow bitter? Who do you look to when things happen in your life that don’t seem fair?

We continue our study of James with the second sermon in the series. Today Pastor Ric helps us dissect James 1, verses 1-4, considering each chosen word carefully and what they mean for us as Christians. 

                                     Scripture Focus: James 1:1-4

The human experience is filled with bumps, twists, and turns, some expected- others not.  One day you are walking along smiling, and humming, listening to the birds sing, life is just great, when suddenly you trip and tumble into a hole, a pit, its dark, and cold, and lonely. That pit is not at all where you planned to spend your day, month, year, or how ever long it takes you to get out. But there is where you find yourself. Now what will you do about it? 

James tells us exactly what we should do, what we must do: 

Consider. Choose what to focus on, what you will have faith in. Trials can either strengthen your faith in God, or grow bitterness in your heart. Remember the parable of the sower in Mark 4:1-20. We are the soil, and Jesus is the seed. Which type of soil are you?

Know. Know that the testing of your faith produces endurance. All Christians will endure trials, age old trials spun to a uniqueness that is only for you.  For a Christian trials are not to test whether you have faith but rather, to grow and strengthen your faith. Like a school teacher God tests our faith with a loving dedication. Faith is a belief system, the object of our trust.  Are you placing faith in something, or someone, other than God? 

 Let. And let the endurance have its full effect, so that you be mature and complete, lacking nothing. Feel the full impact of the trial, and let it shape you. Do not run from it, hid from it, or make excuses for it.  Feel the pain, heartaches, and hurt.  Let it redefine you. Let trials produce within you a character more Godly than you previously imagined was possible. 

God works in your life through trials. Trials are often painful, there are times when we cant wrap our heads around why God would have us endure something so hard.  Be strong in your faith, knowing that what you are experiencing is ultimately good for you, and is for a greater purpose, even when its hard to see that. Let the trials you endure bring you closer to God, not further away. Remember that even Jesus did not wish to endure his painful death on the cross, He prayed HARD that God would find another way but since it was the only way, Jesus endured, as it was a necessary step on His journey to become the Savior of all. We must face our trials in that same manner, with a strong faith, and knowledge that God only gives us what we can handle.  

It is said that true growth happens on the other side of our comfort zone. Life’s trials place us outside our comfort zone in so many ways. When we are secure in our faith in the God who loves us we can endure hard things, knowing that He always has a grip on our lives and our circumstances. Our loving Father never tempts us to sin. The difference between between a test, and a temptation is our attitude about it.  How are you looking at the trials in your life? Are you letting them shape you to be more like Christ, or are you letting them harden your heart?
