- Series: Give. Me. Faith.
Faith is a topic that many people wrestle with.
Is it a list of beliefs? Is it how we live? Is it both? We talk about having faith in God or people or ourselves, but is faith simply just in our heads? Is it something we can know for sure about?
Life can often seem out of control and we can feel like it is taking all the faith we can muster just to make it through the day.
As we walk through the book of James this spring, we will begin to see a God who provides for us, loves us, and empowers us to have the faith we need to make it through whatever life may throw our way.

Big Idea
Fighting temptation has more to do with why we sin than how to get out of it.
