Promise of presence not painlessness

03-01-2026 In this message, we explore why a faith that is tested is a faith that is trusted. We look at John 16 and James 1 to understand how to embrace pain as a pathway to spiritual progress. Instead of asking why me, we can begin to ask what God is teaching us. Learn how to trade your comfort for character and stop measuring the goodness of God by your current convenience. Real faith is not the absence of pain. It is the presence of peace.
