  7. a test that challenges what the a test that challenges what the Integrity of your faith when you look at Integrity of your faith when you look at Integrity of your faith when you look at it in context and you go to verse 12 it in context and you go to verse 12 it in context and you go to verse 12 that same word parmos can also be used that same word parmos can also be used that same word parmos can also be used as the word as the word as the word temptation we're not going to talk about temptation we're not going to talk about temptation we're not going to talk about Temptation today but here's the thing Temptation today but here's the thing Temptation today but here's the thing about a about a about a trial trials are trial trials are trial trials are inevitable because the word used be inevitable because the word used be inevitable because the word used be whenever whenever you face what Trials whenever whenever you face what Trials whenever whenever you face what Trials of various types so it's of various types so it's of various types so it's inevitable so while we can expect trials inevitable so while we can expect trials inevitable so while we can expect trials to come we have no idea what form to come we have no idea what form to come we have no idea what form they'll take see the Greek word for they'll take see the Greek word for they'll take see the Greek word for various means diverse multi-layered and various means diverse multi-layered and various means diverse multi-layered and multicolored H so in other words trials multicolored H so in other words trials multicolored H so in other words trials occur in all shapes and occur in all shapes and occur in all shapes and sizes physical emotional relational sizes physical emotional relational sizes physical emotional relational money it comes in the form of all the money it comes in the form of all the money it comes in the form of all the isms of the world racism classism sexism isms of the world racism classism sexism isms of the world racism classism sexism materialism see I'm going to suggest to materialism see I'm going to suggest to materialism see I'm going to suggest to you that trials can come in three ways you that trials can come in three ways you that trials can come in three ways first way to consider that trials can first way to consider that trials can first way to consider that trials can come from come from come from others amen even the least expected even others amen even the least expected even others amen even the least expected even those closest to you that trials can those closest to you that trials can those closest to you that trials can come from others secondly trials can be come from others secondly trials can be come from others secondly trials can be a result of personal

  8. decisions got real quiet right decisions got real quiet right there so trials can come from others there so trials can come from others there so trials can come from others trials can come from as a result of what trials can come from as a result of what trials can come from as a result of what speak back to me personal decisions and speak back to me personal decisions and speak back to me personal decisions and trials can come from trials can come from trials can come from circumstances beyond our circumstances beyond our circumstances beyond our control see like a dodgeball to the face control see like a dodgeball to the face control see like a dodgeball to the face or like an unwelcome guest they burst or like an unwelcome guest they burst or like an unwelcome guest they burst into our lives unannounced and stay too into our lives unannounced and stay too into our lives unannounced and stay too long trials may be frequent and long trials may be frequent and long trials may be frequent and frustrating or epic and life challenging frustrating or epic and life challenging frustrating or epic and life challenging and we can never predict them see trials and we can never predict them see trials and we can never predict them see trials are Universal it's everywhere and it can are Universal it's everywhere and it can are Universal it's everywhere and it can affect any area of Our Lives it's affect any area of Our Lives it's affect any area of Our Lives it's impartial turn to your neighbor say impartial turn to your neighbor say impartial turn to your neighbor say neighbor trials are neighbor trials are neighbor trials are impartial because we live in a fallen impartial because we live in a fallen impartial because we live in a fallen world World trouble can come to us all world World trouble can come to us all world World trouble can come to us all even even even Believers no matter what your financial Believers no matter what your financial Believers no matter what your financial or educational status may be trials can or educational status may be trials can or educational status may be trials can be be be painful the pain can be physical painful the pain can be physical painful the pain can be physical emotional or relational but whatever the emotional or relational but whatever the emotional or relational but whatever the source turn to your neighbor say source turn to your neighbor say source turn to your neighbor say neighbor nebor it hurts it neighbor nebor it hurts it neighbor nebor it hurts it hurts see I don't know about you but hurts see I don't know about you but hurts see I don't know about you but sometimes my frequent and typical sometimes my frequent and typical sometimes my frequent and typical response to a trial can be shown in response to a trial can be shown in response to a trial can be shown in three ways and maybe they will resonate three ways and maybe they will resonate three ways and maybe they will resonate with you sometimes I avoid with you sometimes I avoid with you sometimes I avoid trials when it comes my way I try to

  9. trials when it comes my way I try to trials when it comes my way I try to avoid it see the thing about avoiding it avoid it see the thing about avoiding it avoid it see the thing about avoiding it though family is that we tend to put up though family is that we tend to put up though family is that we tend to put up facades and we mask that everything is facades and we mask that everything is facades and we mask that everything is okay see the thing is when you try to okay see the thing is when you try to okay see the thing is when you try to avoid and you put on a mask and a facade avoid and you put on a mask and a facade avoid and you put on a mask and a facade guess what you'll also start playing the guess what you'll also start playing the guess what you'll also start playing the blame game you look for someone to blame blame game you look for someone to blame blame game you look for someone to blame but this approach to avoid it it only but this approach to avoid it it only but this approach to avoid it it only intensifies our anger until we become intensifies our anger until we become intensifies our anger until we become even at times even at times even at times bitter we try to avoid our trials bitter we try to avoid our trials bitter we try to avoid our trials secondly some of us sometimes we try to secondly some of us sometimes we try to secondly some of us sometimes we try to drown out our drown out our drown out our trials another option is to try to avoid trials another option is to try to avoid trials another option is to try to avoid pain and Problems by dulling our pain and Problems by dulling our pain and Problems by dulling our senses although drowning our sorrows senses although drowning our sorrows senses although drowning our sorrows sometimes with alcohol taking drugs or sometimes with alcohol taking drugs or sometimes with alcohol taking drugs or engaging in sexual Affairs it may seem engaging in sexual Affairs it may seem engaging in sexual Affairs it may seem like the answer but only thing it does like the answer but only thing it does like the answer but only thing it does it complicates it complicates it complicates things and then it leads to more and things and then it leads to more and things and then it leads to more and more more more problems we avoid it we can drown it out problems we avoid it we can drown it out problems we avoid it we can drown it out but family I believe God wants us when but family I believe God wants us when but family I believe God wants us when it comes to our trials to face it comes to our trials to face it comes to our trials to face it and please hear me I'm not I'm not it and please hear me I'm not I'm not it and please hear me I'm not I'm not just calling out these things just calling out these things just calling out these things haphazardly or unsympathetic to where haphazardly or unsympathetic to where haphazardly or unsympathetic to where you are today but here's what I do you are today but here's what I do you are today but here's what I do believe and I operate in this principle believe and I operate in this principle believe and I operate in this principle that Whatever Whenever God Reveals His that Whatever Whenever God Reveals His that Whatever Whenever God Reveals His intention is always to

Summary

This sermon focuses on the theme of God breathing new life into discouraged and barren situations. It references the concept of speaking life and the power of God's breath of encouragement and direction, particularly through His name in Jesus. The practical takeaway is that through the church community and God's word, there is hope for new beginnings and fruitfulness, even when dreams seem to have died.
