James: Tired, Tested, Torn, and Full of Faith

Live full of faith through hard timesDo you ever feel like you can’t take one more thing? You’re on the edge. Your nerves are shot. Your mind is done. Your body is tired, and your emotions are a mess. If you could gather yourself for even a moment you might explode at the reality of all you’ve been through. In the face of the fears, frustrations, and failures of this world, we have a choice. We can sit and stare at the life we live and hope something changes. Or we can rise up and walk in faith.In this Bible study, author and speaker Micah Maddox walks you through the book of James and compares the teaching of James with what Jesus said in the Sermon on the Mount from Matthew and the wisdom of Solomon we find in Proverbs. When we discover the themes of what a faith-filled life looked like before, during, and after the time of Christ, we see how Scripture points us to honor God in an active life of faith.This five-week study will help you to:Revisit the foundation of your faithLook to God first in hard situationsDiscover faith isn’t a list of do’s and don’tsMove from a place of struggle to a place of comfortGain a fresh perspective on how to live full of faith when feeling tired and testedIncludes historical and biblical background insight and questions for reflection.InScribed is a collection of studies that lead women to not just survive but thrive by encouraging them to immerse themselves in the Word of God.
The Book of James helps us persevere when we choose to and gives us reason to persevere when we don't want to! When our circumstances leave us beat up or beat down, we find encouragement in the perspective of Jesus' brother that no faith is worth much if it isn't worth actively living!
