Rachel led our service today. The readings came from James 1:2 & 2 Peter 1:5–9 and the passages are shown below:
James 1:2: 2 Consider it pure joy, my brothers and sisters, whenever you face trials of many kinds,
Peter 1:5–9: 5 For this very reason, make every effort to add to your faith goodness; and to goodness, knowledge; 6 and to knowledge, self-control; and to self-control, perseverance; and to perseverance, godliness; 7 and to godliness, mutual affection; and to mutual affection, love. 8 For if you possess these qualities in increasing measure, they will keep you from being ineffective and unproductive in your knowledge of our Lord Jesus Christ. 9 But whoever does not have them is nearsighted and blind, forgetting that they have been cleansed from their past sins.
Matt then preached on these passages and you can listen to his sermon by tapping the link below:
