In the face of loss, unanswered prayers, when something bad happens—We often look for a balancing of the scales of good and bad. We try to make sense of tragedy by making it purposeful, but that's not Christian hope. Of course, God works in the midst of difficult circumstances, but we don't need to settle a score in a life where you're not always going to see the score settled. So, what do we do instead? How do we follow God through despair, loss, and tragedy? How do we follow God in success, good times, and answered prayers?
In this episode, Church on the Move Pastors Whit George, Ethan Vanse, and Seth Swindall talk through the book of James. They wrap up a 15-week teaching series in James by emphasizing our need for perspective from Heaven, wholeness from God, and God's presence in our everyday life.
