Today we’re looking at a topic I think all of us can relate to: how to have faith in the midst of trials. All throughout Scripture we see examples of God’s people struggling with faith in the midst of challenges. Doubt is something so natural, so human. And the world teaches us that when things get tough, we need to take this life into our own hands and sort it out. But God has a better way for us – the way of faith. May God empower us with revelation today that would bear the fruit of steadfast faith, even in the midst of trials. Our Scripture for today comes from James 1:2-4, and today's worship is Coming Through by First15 Worship (feat. Jeremiah Brinkley).  --   This month kicks off an extremely important season at First15 — a time when your partnership and prayers are deeply needed.   First15 has just launched a $216,584 Summer Initiative with the goal of connecting thousands more people to God and igniting their hearts for him. And today we’re asking for your support to make that possible. Support the Summer Initiative   You know the power of daily time connecting with God — the hope, clarity, and peace we find in his presence. And we’re so grateful for the opportunity to encourage you in your faith with First15’s free devotional resources.   But to keep these resources freely available and take them to more people than ever before requires a fresh outpouring of support from friends like you.   That’s why we’re really excited to share that some amazing friends who know the power of a deepening relationship with God have offered to match your gift today, up to a total of $20,000.   This means your gift will now DOUBLE to have an even greater impact!   And the impact you can have in people’s lives is what excites us the most, because we’re sure you agree that changed lives can change our culture.   So please give generously to help meet the $216,584 Summer Initiative need — and lead more people into God’s presence each day.   Because when he gets a hold of our hearts, God always changes lives!
