Text: James 1:12-15

3. How have you seen the progression James describes: desire → sin → death—play out in your own life or in the life of someone you know?
4. What practices, relationships, or habits strengthen your ability to endure temptation, and which ones weaken it?
5. James connects endurance with loving God. What is one practical step you can take this week to grow your love for God so that temptation loses its appeal?
