Wisdom in Life's Highs and Lows | James 1:5-11 | Faith Works
Sep 20, 2026 • Michael Ryan Stotler
Why do we struggle to trust God when life becomes difficult? Why do wealth and success sometimes become just as dangerous as hardship?
In James 1:5-11, James reminds believers that God generously gives wisdom to those who ask in faith. But wisdom is much more than knowledge. It is learning to see life from God's perspective.
This message traces the struggle back to Genesis 3, where humanity chose to determine good and evil for itself, resulting in exile and death. James calls us back to dependence on God and teaches us how to view both poverty and prosperity through the lens of eternity.
