Get Smart - Your Choices Make Your Future
There’s a trap that’s been set—and it’s not a matter of if you’ll encounter it, but when. Temptation. Lies. Deceit. Sin wants a place in your life. And most people don’t see it until it’s too late. But what if you could spot the pattern before it starts? What if you had a strategy to win the battles that matter most? In this five-week series through the book of James, we’re uncovering the wisdom to avoid the traps that sabotage our lives. Because smart people live differently: They see the trap and step around it. They don’t fight alone—they lean into community and confession. They win the mind game—because they know it all starts with their thinking. They pick the right fight—and it’s not with others, it’s with pride and self. And they do something—because information without application is useless. This isn’t about being the smartest person in the room. It’s about choosing wisdom before it’s too late. It’s time to stop falling into the same traps. It’s time to Get Smart.

26 Then God said, “Let us make man in our image, according to our likeness. They will rule the fish of the sea, the birds of the sky, the livestock, the whole earth, and the creatures that crawl on the earth.”
27 So God created man in his own image; he created him in the image of God; he created them male and female.
31 God saw all that he had made, and it was very good indeed. Evening came and then morning: the sixth day.
9 How can a young man keep his way pure?
By keeping your word.
10 I have sought you with all my heart;
don’t let me wander from your commands.
God's wisdom will provide the strength for enduring the temptations we encounter
11 I have treasured your word in my heart
so that I may not sin against you.
