God Is A Great Giver

Every good and perfect gift is from above, coming down from the
Father of the heavenly lights, who does not change like shifting shadows. James 1:17

Four things that God gives to help you through trials:

#1. Patience – James 1:3-4

#2. Wisdom – James 1:5

• James 3:13-16 Worldly wisdom
• James 3:17 The wisdom that God gives
• James 1:6-8 Notice three things:
1. “Believe” ask in faith, in harmony with God’s will
2. “Doubt” don’t be wavering—symptom of an uncommitted will to God
3. “Double Minded” trying to serve God and the world at the same time

#3 Crown of Life: There are four types of crowns in the Bible
1. A crown of Joy
2. A crown of Royalty
3. A crown of Victory
4. A crown of Dignity and Honor

#4 God’s Word: How are we to treat that word? v.19
• Hebrews 3:7-8
• Deuteronomy 32:46-47
• Romans 15:4
