Perservere!!! 10/10/12

This week

This week we read James 1:9-12 and really talked about when we go through trials and stand the test, we get eternal life, but also a chance to give back to got.  It is always important to look for ways in our own lives that we can give back to got, whether it's showing someone kindness or bringing someone to youth group.  We also discussed how our hope needs to be in God, and not in worldly possessions.  It's little things like these that we can work on everyday in order to be closer to our Savior.

What to expect next week????

Next week we will continue our study through James.  To prepare, read through James 1:13-18.  These versus focus on how we are tempted in our everyday lives.  These can be things like gossip, or wanting things we don't have, and other things.  We need to try to resist these temptations and focus on God, because HE will reward us.  We are blessed, and sometimes we need to take the time and thank God for our blessings.
