Deep Well of Grit -- James 1:2‑4 -- Pastor Dr. Alton McKinley

Grit in the Ministry

✝ Reference Scripture:

James 1:2‑4 – “Count it all joy… knowing that the trying of your faith worketh patience. But let patience have her perfect work, that ye may be perfect and entire, wanting nothing.”

Enduring ministry isn’t about Sunday’s shout — it’s about Monday’s stand. Like settlers braving the frontier, believers need a deep well of grit to push through trials. Every resistance — from foolish people to personal storms — is God’s gym, building the calluses and reflexes to respond in a way that reflects Him, especially with those closest to us.

“Grit in the Ministry” dives into James 1:2‑4, calling believers to embrace life’s resistance as God’s training ground. Pastor Alton weaves vivid metaphors — from deep country wells to Western grit — showing how trials build the spiritual reflexes we need to stand strong, even on tough Mondays.
