Faith In Real Life | For The Record, Week 12

Faith In Real Life | For The Record, Week 12

Jason Gore, Lead Pastor

Description: What does mature faith look like when real life happens? (Not church life. Not Instagram life. Real life.) Life can change in an instant, but mature faith doesn’t disappear when life gets hard—it turns toward God and others. As we wrap up our time in the Book of James, we’ll discover that God calls His people to be a family that prays boldly, walks honestly, and pursues those who have wandered.

James 5:13-20

1. Bring Everything To God

When life hurts, pray.When life is good, praise.Either way, don't waste the moment.We pray because it matters.

Prayer reminds us that we are not in control. God is.Prayer reminds us that we are not carrying this alone. God is with us.Prayer reminds us that our hope is not in ourselves. Our hope is in Him.Prayer and praise aren’t our last resort. They should be our first response.

Faith isn't believing God will do exactly what I want. Faith is believing God will do exactly what's best.

2. Bring Your Struggles To God’s People.

Healing often begins where hiding ends.

Confess your sins to one another. Pray for one another.

Discipleship happens in relationships.
