Discussing James 1:2-4

In this video, I discuss the idea of steadfastness and its application for our lives. It is a topic at the heart of James' letter and takes some careful consideration.

James 1:2-4 "Count it all joy, my brothers, when you meet trials of various kinds, for you know that the testing of your faith produces steadfastness. And let steadfastness have its full effect, that you may be perfect and complete, lacking in nothing.”

  • Asking the question at the heart of James' letter: "How do I live like Christ?"
  • Defining "steadfastness"
  • Being steadfast, not headstrong
  • Long-term growth
  • Strengthening your faith
