Pastor Sakalunda introduces the term’s study on the Epistle of James with the theme “Trials and Temptations: Responding with Faith” (James 1:1-4, ESV). The sermon emphasizes that faith is more than belief—it is demonstrated through actions. James calls believers to rejoice in trials, not in bitterness, but in joy and gladness through the Holy Spirit. Trials serve as tests of faith and opportunities for spiritual growth, leading to steadfastness, maturity, and completeness. The message concludes by affirming God’s sovereignty over suffering—He knows and allows it for a purpose. Believers must trust, submit, and remain faithful in their walk with Christ.
The African Christian University, founded by the Reformed Baptist Church Association of Zambia, aims to glorify God in the pursuit of truth. Through this mission, they inspire students to use their talents and education to transform their communities and foster cultural renewal in Africa.
