“Testing of Faith” 1 Peter 1:3-9; James 1:2–4 (Stephen Field)

“Come to Jesus and life will be easy and free of trouble!” Well, that’s what we might want to believe, but the truth is that faith in Jesus is not an escape from troubles. In fact, a common answer to prayer is for Jesus to assure us that He is with us in our troubles. Today, we explore some Bible verses that describe the fact the troubles in life will test our faith, and consider the reasons why this happens and the foundation of our hope even in trouble.
