Why God Tests You (Part 3) // James 1:2-3

One of the reasons God sends us trials is to reveal the genuineness (or lack thereof) of our faith. We'll talk about that in this study, as well as a profound perspective on trials that unfold in the aftermath of our failures.

DISCUSSION / REFLECTION QUESTIONS:

How can we cultivate joy in the midst of our trials as James 1:2-3 encourages us to do? Share personal experiences where you've found joy in a challenging situation.

Genuine faith is more than external actions; it's about lordship and obedience. How does Matthew 7:21-23 challenge our understanding of what it means to truly follow Christ?

Reflect on the Parable of the Sower from Matthew 13 and reflect on Psalm 139:23-24. How can we ensure that our hearts are the good soil?

Share a trial where you were made more like Jesus by walking through the aftermath of your failure.

Read Romans 8:16. What does it mean?
