Temptation always shows you the bait. It never shows you the trap.
James reminds us that temptation is something every one of us faces—but it doesn’t have to control us. In this message by Preaching Minister Gordon Dabbs, Ph.D. from James 1:12–18, we look at how temptation works, why our vulnerable moments matter, and how making the right decisions before temptation arrives can change everything.
We’ll also look at Jesus’ own experience with temptation and discover a powerful truth for the battle: Remember who God is, and remember who you are.
You don’t have to stare at the bait and wonder whether you’re strong enough. God is faithful. Take the way out He provides—and keep walking.
