In James 1:12–18, we’re given a clear picture of what temptation is, where it comes from, and how it works. God doesn’t tempt us — but He does give us everything we need to overcome it.

In this message, Pastor Keith Cross walks through four truths about temptation:

• It is inevitable

• It is not from God

• It follows a process

• It always has an escape

When we understand how temptation works, we can stop it before it takes root. And when we remember who God is — good, generous, and full of grace — we’re reminded that we don’t have to settle for less than what He has for us.
