Why Is Life So Hard? Temptation Leads to Sin

<p>Week three of “Why Is Life So Hard?” takes us through James <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fzKVqsUhsmk&t=72s&pp=0gcJCWMAwfN6Pr3D">1:12</a>–27, where we’re called to remain steadfast in Christ. James exposes how temptation grows into sin and death, urging us to stay watchful and live out God’s Word rather than merely hear it. Steadfast faith is essential not only in temptation but in seasons of suffering and loss. Pastor Dimma’s story from Ukraine shows what unwavering trust in Jesus looks like even in the midst of war. </p><p>James <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fzKVqsUhsmk&t=72s">1:12</a> &quot;Blessed is the man who remains steadfast under trial, for when he has stood the test he will receive the crown of life, which God has promised to those who love him.&quot; </p><p>We&#39;d love to connect with you today, send us a message or comment via <a href="https://www.facebook.com/EastsideChristian">⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Facebook⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠</a> or <a href="https://www.instagram.com/eastsidechristianchurch/">⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Instagram⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠</a>.
