Prune Youth Sermon

Contributed by Youth Sermons on Sep 5, 2023

He helps us grow by cutting away the stuff in our lives that's holding us back. Our main Scripture for today is John 15:1-5. Object Lesson: Bring in a small potted ...read more

Triumphant In Temptation

Contributed by Owen Bourgaize on Jan 18, 2008

Temptation is as old as mankind, seen first in the Prototype in the Garden of Eden when the First Adam fell, but the Second Adam was Triumphant in the Wilderness from which we can be forearmed to meet Satan’s temptations.

Why does God allow temptation? That, together with the origin of evil, are great mysteries and they’re closely related. The Bible gives us no explanation as to the ultimate origin of evil but is undoubtedly connected with the devil. When we open the pages of Scripture he already existed. The ...read more
