    Do you test God or trust God? What are the ways we try to control God in order to get our way?

    Temptation how do we resist it, what part did Jesus play in making this possible, and what example has he set for us to follow?

    There’s a cartoon that reads “how come opportunity knocks only once, but temptation beats the door down every day?” Temptation, how often are we tempted in some situation to just give in. The human race does not have a great track record when it comes to temptation. This from Genesis 3:1-9. An ...read more

    A look at the third temptation of Jesus in Matthew. The temptation to use power for good, but not in God's way.

    The devil saves the best for last in his plan to tempt Jesus. He takes him to a very high mountain and shows him the glories of the nation of Israel, and in a vision shows him all the kingdoms of the world, both present and future. “All this I will give you,” he said, “if you ...read more

    A talk at the start of lent that considers the temptation of Christ and the temptations that come our way. God always offers a way out for us to take, but we don’t always take it.

    A native-American elder once described his own inner struggles like this: “Inside of me there are two dogs. One of the dogs is mean and evil. The other dog is good. The mean dog fights the good dog all the time.” After being asked which dog wins he thought for a moment and replied, “The one I feed ...read more

    Dealing With The Devil

    Contributed by Greg Nance on Apr 1, 2012

    God's word shows us that Jesus came to destroy the works of the devil. Satan is our enemy. We know him only too well. Who we need desparately to know is Jesus, so that we can deal with the devil and have victory over him and his lies.

    Many of you spoke with me last week about how important it is to know more about our enemy, the devil. There is a need to know our enemy, as Heath Smith reminded me, and it is clear from scripture as Jesus tells us, "We need to be as wise as serpents and as harmless as doves." (Matt. 10:16) Paul ...read more

    One of the most difficult things for a Christian is to resist temptation. Satan brings temptations to us and tries to make it easy and logical for us to fulfill legitimate needs. Jesus shows us just how crafty he is, and how to resist.

    We love the great times, don’t we? The times when we feel God’s Spirit flowing through us and when others recognize the Lord in us and rejoice. Wouldn’t it be great if every day was like the baptism of Jesus—with the Spirit of God descending like a dove on us and God telling us He is pleased with ...read more
