    Everyone is tempted - it's part of living on planet earth. Even Jesus was tempted. But how did He resist? How do we develop similar resistance?

    Lent 1: Why is it important for the Christian to be aware of Temptation? How does the Bible talk about temptation? What are the sources of temptation? How can we break the chain of events that take us from temptation to sin? (This is Part 1 of 3)

    There’s an old saying, “You can’t keep the birds from flying over your head, but you can sure keep them from building a nest in your hair!” The truth behind that little aphorism – that little saying - varies depending on how it’s used. Listen to how this old guy applies it: “...temptation can be ...read more

    This first message in a series about temptations and how to deal with them, we look at the most obvious: the lusts of the flesh. We identify what they are, how they come against us, and what Scripture tells us to do about them!

    KEY SCRIPTURE: 1 John 2:15-17 "Love not the world, neither the things that are in the world. If any man love the world, the love of the Father is not in him. For all that is in the world, the lust of the flesh, and the lust of the eyes, and the pride of life, is not of the Father, ...read more

We are created in the image of God. Because we are the reflection of God, we have been created for the purpose of glorifying God. Unlike ...read more

    Do I Really Have A Choice?

    Contributed by Joseph Smith on Dec 4, 2000
    based on 61 ratings
     | 8,680 views

    When we are offered great choices, although we think we have no real freedom, we can choose to live emotionally, we can choose to give and affirm life for the most vulnerable in our society, and we can always choose to receive God’s gift of eternal life.

    “Do I really have a choice?” That question was posed the other day by one of our teenagers. She was talking about whether she had to go to school. She felt cornered. She felt boxed in. She was speaking for a great many of us. We feel as though we really do not have any choice about many ...read more
