Sermon: Understanding Temptation
Text: James 1:13 – 15
Thesis: Temptation Has Only One Purpose.

I. James Clearly Shows The Cause Of Temptation.
A. Nobody gets a pass.
B. Our own evil desire drags us out of God’s will.

II. James Will Reveal Its Course.
A. Starts with a root and then a shoot.
B. The fruit is always the same.

III. James Will Caution Us In Dealing With It.
A. First, do not deflect blame from where it truly belongs.
B. You have a choice of which desires will rule your life.

Conclusion: Jesus came to give us hope, even when we fail. James writes the words of this passage to equip all those who would read and believe them. Temptation is nothing to turn our backs on. It is real and its fruit is damning. But we can stand up to the adversary and his awful traps. Let us use James’ advice wisely.
