Text: James 1:2-12
Today’s Olympic Games provide a vivid illustration of the impact and significance of rewards. In these games, athletes from all over the world compete for the privilege of bringing honor and glory to their country, their name recorded in history, and the prize of a metal that will be placed around their neck. We are grateful for these athletes and celebrate their victories, but the rewards they are pursuing are perishable and will not last. The metals will corrode, nations will rise and fall, and even names will be forgotten. However, when it comes to following Jesus, we are called to pursue an imperishable, never-fading reward. In today’s message, we discover the “crown of life” that the Lord has promised to specific believers. We invite you to listen closely to discover how you can love Jesus fully and live for Jesus faithfully, even amid the trials of life.
