Count it Joy pt3

When facing adversity, it is often said that 80% of the outcome depends on how you respond, and only 20% is the problem itself. But how do you actually respond with joy when things go wrong? In today’s episode, Dr. Bobby Hill concludes his series on the Book of James, diving deep into the famous instruction to "count it all joy when you fall into various trials." Using personal stories of rejection and family struggles, Dr. Hill explains that God’s purpose in our pain is not to destroy us, but to grow us. In this message, you will learn: * The True Meaning of "Knowing": The difference between knowing facts and spiritual discernment. * The Purpose of Pain: How trials act like fire to refine faith and produce spiritual diamonds. * Redefining Patience: Why the biblical word hupomoné means "steadfast endurance" and "refusing to quit," rather than just waiting passively. * Real-Life Application: A powerful testimony of trusting God through job loss and financial uncertainty. If you are going through a test today, remember: God is up to something greater. 📖 Scripture Reference: James 1:1–3

If you are facing "various trials" today, this message will equip you with the tools to choose whether you become bitter or better. In this message, you will learn: * The profound difference between "Happy Hour" happiness and biblical Joy. * Why trials are a question of "when," not "if." * How to give thanks in everything without having to be thankful for the bad things.
