trials I have told you these things, so that in me you may have peace. In this world you will have trouble. But take heart! I have overcome the world. John 16:33 So just how do we do this? James Chapter 1 2-12: Trials & Testing 13-18: Temptation 19-27: Truth Consider it pure joy, my brothers, whenever you face trials of many kinds, because you know that the testing of your faith develops perseverance. James 1:2,3 Perseverance must finish its work so that you may be mature and complete, not lacking anything. James 1:4 Goal Perseverance must finish its work so that you may be mature and complete, not lacking anything. James 1:4 Goal I press on toward the goal to win the prize for which God has called me heavenward in Christ Jesus. Philippians 3:14 Patience Perserverance Perseverance must finish its work so that you may be mature and complete, not lacking anything. James 1:4 I press on toward the goal to win the prize for which God has called me heavenward in Christ Jesus. Philippians 3:14 Perseverance must finish its work so that you may be mature and complete, not lacking anything. James 1:4 I made it! Just like God said I would! Consider it pure joy… Well, it seems obvious, but I wonder if I am supposed to go there? If any of you lacks wisdom, he should ask God, who gives generously to all without finding fault, and it will be given to him. James 1:5 Must ask Must believe Must not doubt James 1:6a What if you are not sure what your goal is? 1 John 3:21,22 Dear friends, if our hearts do not condemn us, we have confidence before God and receive from him anything we ask, because we obey his commands and do what pleases him. Heart Mind 1 Corinthians 2:15,16 The spiritual man makes judgments about all things, but he himself is not subject to any man's judgment: "For who has known the mind of the Lord that he may instruct him?" But we have the mind of Christ. because he who doubts is like a wave of the sea, blown and tossed by the wind. James 1:6b That man should not think he will receive anything from the Lord; James 1:7 Where am I going to end up? James 1:8 he is a double-minded man, unstable in all he does. James 1:9 The brother in humble circumstances ought to take pride in his high position. Matthew 5:5 Blessed are the meek, for they will inherit the earth. James 1:10 But the one who is rich should take pride in his low position, because he will pass away like a wild flower. http://hd-wallpapers-widescreen .thundafunda.com/plog-content/images/desktop-images/rose-flower-pictures/red_rose_flower3.jpg red_rose_flower3.jpg , Size: 419.95 KB ,Resolution:1600 x 1200 For the sun rises with scorching heat and withers the plant; its blossom falls and its beauty is destroyed. In the same way, the rich man will fade away even while he goes about his business. James 1:11 Solomon The wisest man who ever lived Not only was the Teacher wise, but also he imparted knowledge to the people. He pondered and searched out and set in order many proverbs. Ecclesiastes 12:9 Meaningless! Meaningless! Utterly meaningless! Everything is meaningless. Ecclesiastes 12:13 Now all has been heard; here is the conclusion of the matter: Fear God and keep his commandment, for this is the whole duty of man. James 1:12 Blessed is the man who perseveres under trial, because when he has stood the test, he will receive the crown of life that God has promised to those who love him. What are the 5 Heavenly Crowns offered to Believers? The Incorruptible Crown (1 Cor 9:24-27) Preaching the Gospel The Crown of Rejoicing (Phil 4:1, 1 Thes 2:19,20) Those lead to faith in Jesus The Crown of Life (James 1:12; Rev 2:10) Perseverance under testing The Crown of Righteousness (2 Tim 4:8) Longing for the Lord’s appearing The Crown of Glory (1 Pet 5:2-4) Shepherding the flock Do you have any crowns coming to you? Do you know where God has called you to go with Perseverance? If not, is it because you haven’t asked? What trials are you facing that you can now look at with joy? Hah! You ain’t so tough! Here I come! James 1:13 When tempted, no one should say, "God is tempting me." For God cannot be tempted by evil, nor does he tempt anyone; Genesis 3:12 The woman you put here with me--she gave me some fruit from the tree, and I ate it. Wrong Answer! but each one is tempted when, by his own evil desire, he is dragged away and enticed. James 1:14 Well, hellooo ladies, you like my boat? Then, after desire has conceived, it gives birth to sin; and sin, when it is full-grown, gives birth to death. James 1:15 Wow, mermaids! Maybe, I have time to go by and just say hello… How did this happen? Ahhhhhhh… So, if God doesn’t give us Temptation… What does He give us? avator James 1:16 Don't be deceived, my dear brothers. Every good and perfect gift is from above, James 1:17a coming down from the Father of the heavenly lights, who does not change like shifting shadows. James 1:17b James 1:16 Don't be deceived, my dear brothers. Every good and perfect gift is from above, James 1:17a coming down from the Father of the heavenly lights, who does not change like shifting shadows. James 1:17b Piano Lead Sheet There is no shadow of turning with Thee; coming down from the Father of the heavenly lights, who does not change like shifting shadows. James 1:17b What are these perfect gifts? Why does He give them to us? that we might be a kind of firstfruits of all he created. He chose to give us birth through the word of truth James 1:18 The Devil made me do it! Well… Sometimes he can put temptations in your pathway… Now for some Quick to Listen Slow to Speak Slow to Anger James 1:19,20 Get rid of all the world’s filth! Accept the Word within you… James 1:21-22 James 1:21-22 man faces in mirror 8 The man in the mirror (10 photos) Anyone who listens to the word but does not do what it says is like a man who looks at his face in a mirror James 1:23 man faces in mirror 1 The man in the mirror (10 photos) and, after looking at himself, goes away and immediately forgets what he looks like. James 1:24 James 1:25 But the man who looks intently into the perfect law… will be blessed in what he does. God's Perfect Law If anyone considers himself religious and yet does not keep a tight rein on his tongue, he deceives himself and his religion is worthless. James 1:26 Religion that God our Father accepts as pure and faultless is this: to look after orphans and widows in their distress and to keep oneself from being polluted by the world. James 1:27 Trials Iron Making Testings Where are you in this process? and even more testings…
