James address Christians under pressure
Without pressure, the human body soon slows down and dies
Pressure keeps the blood flowing
James chooses to call himself servant rather than brother -
James 1:1
He was a prominent leader in the early church but he kept a down-to-earth perspective
Anyone in a leadership role needs to have the same attitude
How are trials to be met? With pure joy -
James 1:2-8
There are two options: continue in the process of becoming mature or walk away and do it our own way
Maturity is not just spiritual longevity - it is how you react under pressure
What do we do it we lack wisdom? Ask for it
Not IQ but for knowing what to do in tricky situations
It's a promise of God that he will enable you to live more intelligently
What is last big trial you faced? How did you react?
Key Phrase: Maturity is not just spiritual longevity - it is how you react under pressure
