James 1:1-4 | Eric Hovis | 8/9/26

Today we start our new sermon series, Everyday Gospel, focusing on the book of James! In James 1:1-4, we see the author James introduce himself and his purpose for writing. He encourages the audience that through trials, God is producing in them steadfastness and ultimately making them more like Christ.

Pastor Eric highlights three points from the text:

1) Expect trials.

2) Know what God is producing: Steadfastness.

3) Trust God’s refining process.
