Sermons on Desire
Human Nature Simply Put
How should human nature be understood? James 1:13–16 gives us an answer. Listen as Mr. Ben Bessett preaches on human nature simply put: recognize, realize, restore.
“Let no one say when he is tempted, ‘I am being tempted by God,’ for God cannot be tempted with evil, and he himself tempts no one. But each person is tempted when he is lured and enticed by his own desire.”
Desire: The Double-Edged Sword
James 3:13-18 contrasts the wisdom from above with the desires of a sinful heart. Listen as Mr. Ben Bessett describes evil desire, pure desire, and mixed desire.
“But the wisdom from above is first pure, then peaceable, gentle, open to reason, full of mercy and good fruits, impartial and sincere. And a harvest of righteousness is sown in peace by those who make peace.”
