Hook, Line & Sinker
As believers, how should we respond to the temptations we face and the sins we commit? It's an uncomfortable reality, but true. Because we're still living in our unredeemed flesh in a fallen world, we will face temptation. And we will stumble into sin—every single day. Yet the book of James gives us hope, particularly when he lays out four godly responses to temptation—giving us a clear path forward. Join Tom Pennington in his series Hook, Line & Sinker, as he takes us deep into Scripture, showing how Christians must stand guard against sin and earnestly desire to glorify God, even in our weakest moments.
Part 1
We as Christians need to acknowledge that temptation will come and then we need to ask ourselves: How are we supposed to respond when we find ourselves being tempted? In the passage we’ll consider together in this series, James, the half-brother of our Lord, answers that question at length.
Part 2
In the book of James, we find exactly that—a roadmap. James helps us understand not just temptation and sin themselves, but why we must be prepared to fight against them. Pastor Tom Pennington takes us deeper into James chapter one, unpacking the four godly responses that we as Christians must make when temptation comes knocking and when sin tries to take root.
Part 3
In God's wisdom, He gives us—through James—four godly responses to temptation. Responses we must earnestly heed if we want to break free. Tom Pennington explains from Scripture how Christians must feel the weight of temptation and sin and then relentlessly pursue the Lord Jesus Christ.
