The promise of God and the promotion of God do not always show up on the same day. David was anointed as king, yet he spent roughly thirteen to sixteen years walking through rejection, scorn, danger, caves, and seasons where nothing looked like the word over his life. But this in-between season was not proof that God had forgotten David - in fact, it was the place where God formed him. God brought David's promotion in His timing, not through David’s striving. God’s resurrection power makes a promise secure, because what He raises up cannot be stolen by a demon, a system, an economy, or a human plan.

Pastor Jeff Sparkman continues our series through the book of James, this week on the goodness of God. The greatest super power God gives to walk through discouragement, suffering, anger, and disappointment is Godly perspective. In tough situations, the enemy wants to take you to a place of selfish concern focusing on what you lack, but God wants to show you His goodness in every situation. Even the hard ones!

Josh Hargrove speaks on temptation and sin as we continue our series through the book of James!
