    First Sunday in Lent. The sermon is about how our temptations in life can give us information about ourselves, and the world.

    All of us are tempted every day. There is a process we go through before we make a decision to give in to the temptation or not to give in to the temptation. The record of David and Bathsheba is such an example.

    All of us are tempted every day. Satan is trying to find something that will stick in our minds that we will act on. So I said to God “Father, there has to be a process we go through before we make a decision to give in to the temptation or not to give in to the temptation.” And sure enough, there ...read more

    Resisting temptation requires recognizing its deceptive nature, relying on God’s strength and wisdom, and trusting His grace to overcome sin’s destructive pull.

    If you’ve ever stood in front of the pantry at midnight, telling yourself, “Just a nibble,” you know something about the tug of temptation. It doesn’t always stride into the room; it sidles.

When we leave an opening by yielding to temptation, he’ll take advantage. - Kent Crockett(1) In Ephesians 4:27, the Apostle Paul warned, “Do not give the devil a foothold” (NIV).
