Temptation

James, Media, Sermons | by Pastor Adam Sinnett

Podcast: Play in new window

We are about a month into our new series through the practical, pastoral and passionate leter of James. James was an Apostle, the leader of the early church in Jerusalem and a half-brother of Jesus. His goal in writing was to urge followers of Jesus to move beyond superficial faith to whole-hearted, sincere devotion. That makes this leter deeply relevant even 2,000 years after its writing. Today we arrive at 1:12-15 and the topic of temptation. As usual, James offers us help and hope, in his no-nonsense, awkwardly straight-forward, style by describing how temptation works and, in so doing, how we can overcome it.
