Following Jesus takes grit. You probably know that. James, the half-brother of Jesus, knew it too. In the New Testament book bearing his name, James writes to his fellow Christ-followers, calling us to a faith with grit. He knows life is gritty and calls out some stuff we may be tempted to gloss over. James shows us the real challenges are not without, but within. And he shows us how to face those challenges with the courage, perseverance, and love that God has already put in us. 

TOPIC: True Grit

VERSES: James 5:7-12

PASTOR: Ben McEachern

Life isn't like most sports where there is a clock you can watch and know how long until the game is over. Yet we are called to persevere with an eye to the return of Jesus. This will require true grit. This week James exhorts us to keep our eyes on the prize and not quit.
