Week 2 in The Book of James. Andy shares 4 tools about how we as believers can navigate temptation: God's Word, God's Spirit, God's People, Prayer.

The Book of James is the first letter of the New Testament, written by the blood brother of Jesus. James was a leader of the early church in Jerusalem and was writing to dispersed Christians living unsettled and persecuted in a culture much opposed to the faith they were living out. James cut to the chase and was no-nonsense in this letter of wisdom that is just as timely for us today in 2024 as it was nearly 2,000 years ago.

*The framework for this message (5 Stress facts) comes from the journal writings of Dr. O.S. Hawkins.
