In this expositional sermon on James 1:12-19, we are reminded that God is never the source of our temptation, but always the giver of every good and perfect gift. James exposes the deception of sin and shows how our own desires lure us away from steadfast faithfulness, while calling us to trust the unchanging goodness of our Heavenly Father. This sermon presses us to recognize temptation for what it is, to cling to the truth of God’s Word, and to rest in the faithful love of the Father who always provides a way of escape.
