Fellowship:

Icebreaker:
How does advertising tempt you?
What food do you have a weakness for?
How do you control a spending urge?  (Black Friday is coming!)

Scripture:
James 1:12-27

Lesson:
Back in the 1970’s, comedian Flip Wilson’s punch line was “The devil made me do it.”  He was theologically correct.  God does not tempt us to sin.  That is the work of the evil one.  Our job is to stand firm against the temptation of sin in the power of the Holy Spirit.

How does sin start?
What causes sin to grow in people?
What happens when sin is allowed to grow?
What is our guide to defending ourselves against sin?
How does not listening lead to sin?
Why does being too quick to speak lead to sin?
How does a slow response control anger?
How do you keep yourself from being polluted by the world?

I'LL BE HOME FOR CHRISTMAS: Tough Love

Icebreaker: What is your favorite Christmas movie? What is your favorite Christmas movie quote? Overview: In the Christmas classic, “It’s a Wonderful Life,” angel Clarence Odbody is forced to lovingly deliver some tough love when George wishes he had never been born. Clarence grants his wish lamenting that there must be an easier way to get his wings. After George has a frightening experience of what life would have been like had he never been born, Clarence says, “ Each man's life touches so many other lives. When he isn't around, he leaves an awful hole, doesn't he?” In the end, George realizes how wonderful his life truly is despite its difficulties. Truth without love is brutality, and love without truth is hypocrisy.   -- Warren W. Wiersbe God loved us so much that He sent His Son as the Baby Jesus to redeem us.
