In this first message of Between Sundays, a series through the book of James, Charlie digs into why James would say something so jarring to a group of scattered, struggling believers who had lost just about everything. And the answer is not what most of us expect. James is not telling them to fake it or feel something they do not feel. He is pointing them to what the trial is actually doing. Testing produces endurance. Endurance finishes the work God is doing in you. And the person who comes out the other side is more complete, more whole, less dependent on the things that were never going to hold anyway. There is also something in this passage that is easy to miss. Right in the middle of all of this, James says if you do not know what to do with any of it, ask. God gives wisdom generously and does not hold your asking against you. That posture, the willingness to ask, turns out to be the foundation everything else in this letter is built on. This is not a message about pretending hard things are not hard. It is about what hard things are actually for. To find out more about Oaks Chapel, visit OaksChapel.org.
