Well, good morning church. Before we jump into the message, let me just publicly say a big old thank you to all of you who reached out yesterday to say happy birthday. You don't know how many friends you have until you have a birthday. So, I want to say thank you publicly to you guys. I was just super blessed yesterday. All the messages, all the happy birthdays in the hall today. It was a good day. And then also it showed me one more time just how special this place is and how incredible it is to walk with a family of faith that loves Jesus together. So thank you guys.

Well listen, if you have a copy of Scripture, I want you to turn with me to James chapter one today. If you were here last week, you know we started a new series. We're going to walk through James and look at this idea of our faith in action. And James, the half-brother of Jesus, began this letter to persecuted Christians who were spread out all over the area, saying to them hold on.

James pointed out that trials reveal to us what our relationship with God looks like. Trials show us if we trust God. They show us if we really love God or if we're just chasing after some gift or blessing from God. We walked through three things about trials: it's our perspective in the trial that opens the door for God to teach us in the trial. If we walk into a trial of life and we're spiteful, angry, and mad at God, then God can't use the trial to mold us in his image. Point number two last week: Our patience in the trials determines how much God molds in us through the trials. Lastly, our prayers of belief in the trial invite the power of God to get us through the trial.

Now, those things are incredibly important because, at the end of the day, many of us enter into trials angry or with this idea that all we want to do is get out of it. We pray these finicky little half-hearted prayers, and then we get mad at God for not moving in the middle of these moments. Well, James said, if you want God to move in your life when you're walking in these situations, just hold on. Just point to him and ask in faith, not double-minded. Ask him to move.

These trials that James talked about are never fun. But they are an incredibly intricate part for us, as believers in Jesus, to grow in our faith. They point toward Jesus and prepare us for eternity. So they're really like God looking at us asking, do you trust me?

This week, we will start in verse nine, and James continues in the same vein, from a slightly different angle. He's going to talk about trials, and then he's going to add temptations to the conversation.

Now, I can feel the tension when I say that. If you're like me and you're kind of type A, you may say, give it to me, and let's move on. James, you did trials last week. Give us something new this week. To which I would say first, James is writing under the inspiration of the Holy Spirit. So you don't have a problem with James; you have a problem with the Holy Spirit. That's never a good place to be. And then secondly, James continues here because he knows trials, suffering, and temptation are some of the biggest elements of our Christian life that we struggle with. James knows that we will pull up to certain areas of our lives and ask, God, why are you walking me through this?

James was living in a world where, when you stood for Jesus, you were persecuted. He was writing to this church. Here's what I want to do this week: I want to give you Six clarifying trial and temptation truths this morning that can help us honor God in the hard moments. So we're going to start in verse nine, and we're just going to walk through the text and pull some things from it.

He's speaking in the same context to all of us who are believers in Jesus. He says believers in humble circumstances. It means believers who are financially struggling. Believers who were in humble circumstances ought to take pride in their high position. But, in verse 10, the rich should take pride in their humiliation. Now, I know that's a bit confusing, but we will get into it. He said since they will pass away like a wildflower, verse 11, for the sun rises and the scorching heat withers the plant and its blossom falls, and its beauty is destroyed in the same way, the rich will fade away even while they go about their business.

Now, don't get lost in the imagery. If you're anything like me when it comes to this poetic language, you may think, tell me what you're saying. Here's the first thing I want you to see this morning. Number one, trials clearly show us the real and the false foundations of our lives. Trials show us what we are tethered to and what our lives are built around.

Another thing trials do very, very well in our lives is show us the faulty foundations we're building our lives around. Trials show us what the New Testament authors would call the shifting sand that we're building our world around. Those things rule our lives, and we might not even know they existed. We might even promise that's not the case. But when trials hit, they show us what our life is built around. And for many people, both back then and now, what our life is built around is money, riches, and wealth.

Saving money or spending money. And if you are in a family, one of you is a saver, and one of you is a spender. Many of us think that money is security. Money is significance. Money brings beauty. Money brings happiness. Money brings joy. Money brings security. Money will protect me from the bad. And if I have money, I have everything. If I don't have money, I'm powerless. James knows all about it. First of all, because he comes from an incredibly poor family. Jesus' family was super poor. We know that from when he was born, they gave the poor offering when they presented him at the temple. He grew up with no means. I mean, Jesus didn't even have a house. He was poor.

James was also writing at a time when culture was built around the haves and the have-nots. There was no middle class when he was writing this. The wealthy people owned all the land, and the poor people just worked for the wealthy people. The wealthy people were crazy wealthy. The poor were super poor. It wasn't like today, where, no matter what family you're born into, there's a chance for you to live out your dreams and make it in life. During this day, if you were born poor, you were probably always going to be poor. If you were born rich, you were probably always going to be rich. You stayed that way. So the result is the rich felt like nothing can happen to me. Because I have it all. The poor felt helpless. Because they felt the opposite.

No amount of money can buy you out of most of life's biggest crises. Read the verse, and then I'll flesh it out. Because listen, if you're in this room, you're rich. He says, but the rich should take pride in their humiliation. Now, that's hard to hear if you've got a 401k. He says, that "The rich should take pride in their humiliation since they will pass away like a wildflower. For the sun rises with a scorching heat and withers the plant, its blossom falls, and its beauty is destroyed. And in the same way, the rich will fade away even when they go about their business."

James is saying trials show the false foundations of our lives. We think that our riches are what's going to get us through until we die. But let me be as gut-level honest as I can. You do realize that your money can't stop cancer. Your money can't stop death. Your money can't stop divorce. In fact, it's probably the opposite. Your money can't stop a wayward child from making their own decisions. It's not going to work like that. Your money is powerless because all flesh is going to pass away. All flesh is going to perish no matter what you have. James says all it takes is a couple of dry months. And no matter what you have, no matter where you are financially, it might take you a little bit longer than somebody else, but all of it can go away.

And that's why he's saying, those of you that are up there, it's a good thing that God maybe knocks you down a couple of notches. He can teach you something now before it's too late for him to teach you later. Because our foundation is built on sinking sand. For the rich, like everybody else, trials will come. And those trials are going to show us what we have will not make it. It will not endure.

So take heart. Man, you should find goodness in the fact that you've been humiliated a little bit so that you can see the eternalness of who God is. Those of us with money, he says you should rejoice when God resets you. He resets you in a way that points to him now before it's too late.

Before I get to the other side of this verse, let me say something. Yes, James is speaking of those who are financially rich. He’s talking to you. You live in America. You live in Cobb or Paulding County. You're well off according to the world's standards. This can also point to you being rich in some skill, talent, popularity, or something you have built your trust in that you're good at. Maybe God needs to bring you down from that thing a little bit to show you who he is. Take heart in that moment.

If your life is built on these things, being made low is a good thing. You can point your life to the King of Kings and to the Lord of Lords. This is Matt's translation: You rich, popular, influential person when God brings you down to reset you, you're being made into the image of Jesus. So rejoice.

So, we’ve looked at the rich. Now, let's look at what James describes as the poor. He says the poor live in a state of trial. They live in a state of nothingness. Therefore, look back at verse nine. Believers in humble circumstances ought to take pride in their high position.

How in the world would you take pride in being poor? How in the world would you take pride in you being flat on your back? Well, being flat on your back only gives you one way to look up. That's where Jesus wants your gaze to be. James points out that people in humble circumstances should boast. They should have a holy pride in this moment. Because they have riches in Christ, which is more of a blessing than this world could ever bring them. They are not so hung up on these other things they can see.

Has anybody ever been to a third-world country and been to a worship service on a Sunday? Have you watched how fast those people - who literally have nothing - jump into praising God? How long does it take us to forget all that stuff from the week? They walk in, and they're ready. Because He’s all I have. And God, I'm going to rejoice in you. When I step into eternity, you can have that other stuff. When I step into eternity, I know what I have. I have the King of Kings and Lord of Lords. Church, that's power. That's security. That's riches. That's the stuff that people who rely on their own riches cannot experience.

If you hang out in these verses, it tracks with the Beatitudes in the Sermon on the Mount. Matthew says, poor in spirit, rejoice, for you are a child of the King. Trials in our lives expose false foundations. If you're poor, thinking God’s not giving me anything, God is just pointing you to him. If you're rich and brought down a level, God is pointing out that your focus is getting off. But it's not too late for you. He exposes these false foundations.

Then, write this down. Point number two goes right along with this. Trials are a great equalizer. I'm not saying God's goal is for all the rich to become poor and poor to become rich. I'm not talking about any of that mess. What I am saying is trials bring the rich down from their pedestal of self-sufficiency to their knees at the cross. Trials bring the poor up to raise their hands, showing that Jesus is all they need.

Keep reading in the text. I want to show you what James says right after he makes those two points. So whether you’re rich, whether you're poor, or in the middle, look at verse 12. He says, "Blessed is the one who perseveres under trials because having stood the test, that person will receive the crown of life that the Lord has promised to those who love him."

No matter your earthly, so-called status, whether you're up here, down here, or somewhere in the middle, he says blessed. Another Beatitude. Blessed are those who stay. They stand. They keep holding Jesus first. They keep abiding in the name and the love of Jesus. James says, if you do, you'll receive something so much more valuable than anything this world can give you. More than any joy this world can give you. More than any hope this world can give you. James says, hold on. Abide in Jesus, and you'll receive the crown of life.

This points me to the third truth: Trials remind us we are called to constantly live for God's reward. Many of us are still trying to live for our reward on earth. But trials remind us no matter what is happening; our goal is to live for the next reward. And here's the cool thing about these rewards: they're eternal. They're sealed in the name, in the love, in the blood of Jesus. Nobody can take those from you. You possess them for eternity.

When you see this phrase, crown of life, it gives us a chance to talk about eternity just for a minute. I don't think we talk about heaven enough. I don't think we talk about eternity and perfection with God enough. I think we tend to get so locked into momentary living that we forget we are just hopscotching through this place to eternity. I think that's the reason a lot of us struggle so much. A lot of us get drug into the things that we're talking about so much because, in our minds, it's all about the now. Whereas the biblical narrative points us to all about the later. It's all about the eternity. It's all about the heavenly reward. When you read the crown of life, it's a great reminder. It describes a victorious crown. Not like a king's crown with studs, jewels, and gold.

Think about an Olympic crown, a crown that is placed on the victory podium. That's what the crown of life means. The original audience here would've pictured this, too. The crown was given to an athlete who won a fight, race, or competition. It was a presentation of their victory.

And church, listen to me: this is exactly what we are living for. We live for this moment when Jesus gives us the crown of life. When he bestows upon us a life where there are no more sorrows. There are no more trials. There are no more temptations. That's why Paul can say in 2 Corinthians 4:17, for our light and momentary troubles are achieving for us an eternal glory that outweighs them all.

That's why he can say in Philippians 3:10, I want to know Christ, yes, to know the power of his resurrection. And we're with him in that one. But watch this: "And participate in his sufferings, becoming like him in his death. So that somehow attaining to the resurrection from the dead. Not that I've already obtained all this, nor I've already achieved my goal, I press on to take hold."

Get in your mind the crown, to take hold of that which Christ has already taken hold of me. "Brothers and sisters, I do not consider myself yet have taken hold of it. But one thing I do is I forget what's behind me, and I strain towards what's ahead. And I press on towards the goal to win the prize for which God has called me heavenward in Christ."

Believers in Jesus, listen to me. You are not living for today. It is such a fool's errand to live for today. Live for eternity. Live for the crown of eternal life that he wants to give you. Putting it in the context here: live in the middle of the trial. Live in the middle of the question. Live in the middle of the moment where he is shaping you. Live in the middle of the time when you don't know where to turn. Turn to the one that possesses the victory. His name is Jesus.

So, over 12 verses, what has happened? James has said, hold on. Find joy. God wants to help. Ask him for help. He is sovereign in the world. He has made you. And even when you don't see it, he has a plan for eternity.

Then James takes a bit of a theological journey around a topic we need to hear regarding trials and temptations. Write this down. Maybe it'll help you this week. Number four: trials and temptations are not the same thing. Believer, remember God may test you because he wants to push you into his glory, push you into his power, and grow you up in him. It prepares you for eternity. God will test you. But listen closely. God will never tempt you. Never. And it’s not just a matter of semantics. God will never point you in a direction to choose something that is not according to his character. Don't put that on God.

He clears it up in verse 12. He says when tempted, "No one should say God is tempting me. For God cannot be tempted by evil, nor does he tempt anyone." God will give us a chance to point to him in the momentary trials of life. He will do that. But listen, he will never tempt us to walk away from him. So where does temptation come from if it doesn't come from God?

Point number five: Temptation comes from our sinful desires. Temptation comes from within us, within our fallen nature, within this fallen world.

Did God tempt me? No. God does not tempt you. He is the author of your faith. He's the perfector of your faith. He wants to grow you in your faith. He's never going to try to drag you out of your faith. The responsibility for temptation relies on us. We hate that concept because we live in a culture where it's so easy to blame. James says, look, I know you live in a world where there are voices at every turn saying that's somebody else's fault. That's how you were raised. You're just a product of your environment. You know Satan just made you do that.

But that's not it at all. He clears it up for us: each person is tempted when they're dragged away by their evil desires and enticed. There is no one to blame for you being dragged away from your faith except for you. Don't blame that on the friend group. You're with that friend group because you're drawn to them. Don't blame that on your family. Culture doesn't like this word: you. It's always on somebody else. But James says it's on you. Each person is tempted when they're dragged away by their evil desires.

You didn't make a mistake. The evil desire came from your heart and enticed you. Verse 15, then after desire has conceived, it gives birth to sin. And then sin, when it's full grown, gives birth to death. And don't be deceived, my dear brothers and sisters.

Temptation comes from us, and it's on us. Is Satan involved with it? Yes, he is involved. Because he is the author of evil, right? But it's really on me. I’m dealing with this question: will I choose to compromise? Am I going to choose where my evil heart is dragging me? Am I going to choose the quick way out? Am I running away from the promise of God to my way? That's what happens when we sin. I'm walking away from the promises of God. That's what the Bible calls it.

Let's talk about sin for a minute because I want to give you a roadmap of sin that may be helpful for you this week. It's always the same. Number one, sin always starts with deception. With some deception, a shortcut, a feeling of immediate gratification, or an unbelief. It's a moment where we're just not taking God at his word. That God wants the best for us. That's what sin is.

We question the promises of God. This is what happens in Genesis chapter three. The world is perfect. God has given them everything He said. You can have everything except for that tree. And then Sin entered in. Satan entered the scene, and he said, did God really say that? Man, have you ever been in that situation before? That's the number one lie.

But then it quickly moves from being deceived to point number two. Sin grows into a desire. If I wasn't deceived, I would never look at the fruit of that tree. But because I was deceived, now I want it, and I don't care what anybody says about it.

I don't care how many warnings there are about it. James clearly says we are drawn away by our own evil desires. The language here is like a fishing hook that is baited on something that you really, really like. It is a red wiggler. It smells really bad, but it is wiggling in the clear water. The fish sees it, it desires it, and it gobbles it up. Maybe other fish told him not to do it. I've done it before. Don't go down that road. But sin attracts; it hides the danger, and it looks so good. At first glance, that first chomp onto that baited hook by that fish may even be good. And then it's like, uh-oh. That's what sin does to us.

It starts with this deception. It moves into a desire that, regardless of what we've been told, we wanted. This is when we step out of the temptation into the sin. And then number three: it's acted upon with disobedience.

Look, it's not a sin to be tempted. In Matthew chapter four, Jesus was tempted, yet was without sin. It is a sin to walk in the opposite direction. It might even feel right in the season. It might even be congruent with what our friends and culture are saying. But ultimately, here’s point number four: it ends with death.

Church, that is the process. We're deceived. We have the desire. We're disobedient. And ultimately it ends in death. Yes, it is a little bit harsh. But it's to remind us, believer in Jesus, that God has rescued you out of this already. He wants you to remain out of it. He wants you to stay with him. In fact, that's where we get Ephesians 2:4, which says, but because of God, his great love for us, God who is rich in mercy, made us alive with Christ even when we were dead in our transgressions. It is by grace that you have been saved. Whatever deception you're believing right now, whatever desires that you are tempted to fulfill, all I can say is run away. Run to the one that can give you life and give you life more abundantly.

Listen closely to me. Jesus is faithful in salvation. He's faithful for eternity. He gives these perfect gifts. Whatever bait you're chasing, the gift of God is so much better. Look at verse 17. He describes it: every good and perfect gift is from above. Coming down from the father of the heavenly lights who does not change like the shifting shadows. He chose us. He chose to give us life through the word that we might be a kind of first fruits of all that he created.

God's goodness is so unchanging. It doesn't shift like a shadow. It doesn't shift like the earth. It never changes. Do you realize this about God? God will never be better; he will never be worse. God never wakes up on the wrong side of the bed. A, he doesn't sleep. And B, he is always good. He never fails. He has always been perfect. He's always been untainted by sin. And so James is saying, that's the God you can trust in. The rest of these shifting things that you are building your life on are not going to make it.

James also says God's goodness is undeserved. In his goodness, God has chosen to give you life. In our dead state, at our very worst, that's when God stepped in and said, I give you life.

Believers, you weren't kind of floundering in your sin and almost quasi-hopeless. No, you were dead in your sin, and he gave you life. Why would God ever tempt you out of that? He won't because he's all good, and his goodness is unending. It’s never going to fail. So, we might be a kind of first fruit. The first fruit is the best fruit. The first fruit is the most sought-after fruit. Believers in Jesus, you are the apple in God's eyes from the beginning of creation to the end of creation. You're it. God says you are mine. God has saved us from our sin. He walks with us in our sorrows. He never changes in the mess.

Let's pull all this together, ask a question, and then we're done. What do we do in the middle of the trial? Based on what we just heard, God is good. What do we do in the middle of the trial? What do we do in the middle of the temptation? It's so easy to look at ourselves. So easy to look at my power, my circumstances, my stuff.

Here’s what you do in the middle of the trial or temptation. Number six, write this down: The only way to stand in the trials or the temptations is to fully fix our eyes on Jesus. But Matt, you told us trials and temptations are not the same? Trials are from God to strengthen us. Allow us to worship him. Temptations are an off-ramp from our own sinfulness. How, then, Matt, can they both have the same solution?

Man, that's a great question. This points to the great God that we serve. He is not only the author of our faith; he is the perfector of our faith. The God that began a good work in you will finish the good work. He is the God that is the King of Kings and Lord of Lords. He's also the suffering servant who wants to step into your life.

He is the God who wants to grow you from the trial, and he wants to rescue you from sin. He is the God who came down from the throne of heaven and walked the life that we live without sin. He is offering us a way out to grow us, to prepare us, and to make us his. One day, when we as believers in Jesus, receive the crown of life, we will be fully his.

There is one way. Whether you're in a trial this morning where God is testing you and maturing you. Or whether you feel your heart being dragged into sin. The way out is the same, and it's always to fix our eyes on Jesus. Do you know why I think God did it like this? He knows we couldn't handle it any other way but to take my eyes off of me, off the situation, off the struggle, and to seek his face. Let me ask you this morning: where are you?

Do you find yourself in a moment of decision right now? Do you find yourself in a moment of trial right now, where God is asking you to be faithful? Keep your eyes on Jesus. He's perfect; he gives grace, he gives hope, he gives mercy, and he gives wisdom. Keep your eyes on Jesus.

Or maybe you find yourself being drawn into sin. And it seems so right, doesn't it? But you know in your heart that it's not. What do you do? Keep your eyes on Jesus. The author and perfecter of our faith who, for the joy that was set before him, endured the cross, despising the shame, and is seated at the right hand of the throne of God.

Pray with me. Lord, Jesus, today I know that there are people on both sides of the spectrum in a room with this many people. People are in a trial right now, and you are maturing them. God, may they fix their eyes on you. There are people right now who are dealing with some serious temptations that feel so right. God, would you make it repulsive to them? Would you show them you're good and your perfect gifts are much better? God, I pray that during these next few seconds, they can offer their gaze to you and you alone and say, here I am, Lord.

But God, I pray for a whole other group of people in this room, those who have never met you and never surrendered their hearts to you. You know that the reality is they cannot receive the crown of life because they have never submitted their hearts to you. They've never given their life to you. You have never forgiven them of their sin and shame and come into their life as their savior. Lord, today, I pray right now that there are many people in this room who honestly look at you, Jesus, and say forgive me, for I'm a sinner. Come into my life and make me yours. Make me your child so I can walk in your power.

Lord, I know some people have been trying so hard to get out of sin that they've never realized that the first step to that is having you as a savior. God, may today, in these next couple of minutes, whether it's online or they stand boldly and walk up to me or one of these counselors. God, use these next couple of minutes to move in us.

God, I pray for some people who need to join this church. They need to have a fellowship around them like we discussed in the beginning, that walks with them in times of joy and sorrow. God, I pray for people who are in the bondage right now of sin. God, break them free. I pray for people who are in trials, and you are shaping them right now. God, show them your love. Show them the way out as they fix your eyes on you. It's in your name we pray, Jesus. Amen.

Trials, Temptations & Fixing Our Eyes on Jesus

 August 11, 2024
James 1:9–11
9 Believers in humble circumstances ought to take pride in their high position. 10 But the rich should take pride in their humiliation — since they will pass away like a wild flower. 11 For the sun rises with scorching heat and withers the plant; its blossom falls and its beauty is destroyed. In the same way, the rich will fade away even while they go about their business.
6 Clarifying Trial and Tribulation Truths

1. Trials clearly show us the real and foundations of our life.

James 1:10–11
10 But the rich should take pride in their humiliation — since they will pass away like a wild flower. 11 For the sun rises with scorching heat and withers the plant; its blossom falls and its beauty is destroyed. In the same way, the rich will fade away even while they go about their business.
James 1:9
Believers in humble circumstances ought to take pride in their high position.

2. Trials are the equalizer.

James 1:12
Blessed is the one who perseveres under trial because, having stood the test, that person will receive the crown of life that the Lord has promised to those who love him.

3. Trials remind us that we are called to constantly live for God’s .

2 Corinthians 4:17
For our light and momentary troubles are achieving for us an eternal glory that far outweighs them all.
Philippians 3:10–14
10 I want to know Christ&nbsp— yes, to know the power of his resurrection and participation in his sufferings, becoming like him in his death, 11 and so, somehow, attaining to the resurrection from the dead. 12 Not that I have already obtained all this, or have already arrived at my goal, but I press on to take hold of that for which Christ Jesus took hold of me. 13 Brothers and sisters, I do not consider myself yet to have taken hold of it. But one thing I do: Forgetting what is behind and straining toward what is ahead, 14 I press on toward the goal to win the prize for which God has called me heavenward in Christ Jesus.

4. Trials and temptations are the same thing.

James 1:13
When tempted, no one should say, “God is tempting me.” For God cannot be tempted by evil, nor does he tempt anyone.

5. Temptation comes from sinful desires.

James 1:14–16
14 but each person is tempted when they are dragged away by their own evil desire and enticed. 15 Then, after desire has conceived, it gives birth to sin; and sin, when it is full-grown, gives birth to death. 16 Don’t be deceived, my dear brothers and sisters.
