Samson: Tackling Temptation: Desire-Sin-Death

James 1:14-15 | Temptation comes from our own desires, which entice us and drag us away. These desires give birth to sinful actions. And when sin is allowed to grow, it gives birth to death.

  • What is temptation?

  • Is temptation a sin? Why or why not? If not, when does it become sin?

  • When we act on our temptation and choose to sin, what is its result? (If you’re not sure, think back to Samson’s story).

  • When have you let temptation to sin? What was its result in your life?

  • How can you keep your desires from “dragging you away” into sin? (Create an action plan here and then put it into motion when temptation comes).
