• Encounter Jesus Today | Episode 3: Joy in Trials
    Jan 7 2025

    Struggling through trials and temptations? This powerful message dives into the profound truth of finding joy in our hardships. Inspired by James 1:2-4 and Philippians 4:13, we explore how God refines us through struggle, like precious metals tested by fire.

    Join us as we unpack:

    ✨ The true meaning of testing in James 1—how trials reveal and remove impurities in our hearts.

    ✨ Paul’s secret to contentment, even in suffering, as revealed in Philippians 4:13.

    ✨ Why joy in trials isn’t flippant but an invitation to deeper faith and trust.

    Discover the countercultural beauty of leaning into struggles, letting God refine us, and embracing His presence as the ultimate gift.

    📖 “Count it all joy… when you face trials of many kinds.” (James 1:2)

    📖 “I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me.” (Philippians 4:13)

    In this video, we’ll also confront false narratives like the prosperity gospel and instead embrace the biblical truth that our strength comes from God—even in our lowest moments.

    🌟 Takeaways for your journey: Reframe struggles as blessings in disguise. Learn how trials cultivate perseverance and steadfastness. Shift from chasing worldly comfort to seeking God’s presence. Let’s repent of striving for external blessings and instead surrender to the Lord’s refining process, knowing that He is creating something beautiful in us.

    🙏 Pray with us as we ask God to open our hearts, transform our mindsets, and teach us to find joy and contentment in every season.

Together, we’ll walk with fearless faith, trusting God’s refining fire to strengthen us for His glory!
