Sermon of the Month: February 2025

We live in an age of constant worldly temptations. Temptations that in some ways are unprecedented, making the youth of today especially hard-pressed and tried. When the devil goes about like a roaring lion seeking those whom he may devour, we must be able to respond to temptation like Jesus did in the desert by saying “It is written.” One of Scripture’s most clear and helpful chapters on temptation is James 1, so by knowing this chapter, we can say in the face of temptation, it is written that “Blessed is the man who endures temptation; for when he has been approved, he will receive the crown of life which the Lord has promised to those who love Him.” (James 1:12).


This month’s Sermon of the Month is from the wonderfully encouraging and strengthening chapter of James 1. Pastor Eric Moerdyk of St. Thomas FRC preached it on October 27, 2024, under the title “Putting to Death the Old Man by Resisting Temptation.” He first covered the anatomy and parts of temptation and then secondly considered our minds against temptation.
