Save for Later

Is there real, unmistakable evidence of saving faith in your life? In this bold 12-part series, Dr. Michael Youssef walks through the epistle of James to reveal what true, mature faith looks like in the life of the believer. Each message confronts the counterfeit comforts of empty religion and calls Christians to live by the inerrant Word of God—marked by repentance, perseverance, prayer, obedience, and holy living. From trials to temptations, from the use of our tongues to the posture of our hearts in prayer, James challenges us to examine whether our lives reflect the Gospel we claim. This is a call to authentic faith—proven, tested, and glorifying to Christ.

Defeating Temptation

The second evidence of genuine faith is not a feeling—it is the daily, Spirit-empowered defeat of temptation. In this urgent message, Dr. Michael Youssef proclaims that every believer faces a battlefield of the mind, where Satan seeks to numb, deceive, and destroy. But Scripture is clear: God does not tempt us—He delivers us. Through James 1, Dr. Youssef calls us to stop rationalizing sin, stop shifting blame, and instead confess, repent, and walk in the power of the Holy Spirit. True saving faith will not surrender to the enemy—it will resist. This message is a call to holiness, to vigilance, and to Spirit-filled victory in the fight for our soul.
