In our sermon, we will discuss the reasons why God uses temptations:
- Reveal what is in your heart
- Replay significant life issues
- Remind others of His grace and goodness
- Reinforce your will
To further our understanding of temptations, we will also discuss the stages of temptation:
- Deceit
- Delight
- Desire
- Deliberation
- Defeat
- Despair
(Hmm—those look mighty familiar, don’t they?)
But God never reveals something that He does not show a way of escape. There are steps out of temptation:
- Fight the devil (James 4:7, 1 Peter 5:8-9)
- Follow Jesus (1 Peter 2:21, James 4:7-8)
- Flee from sin (1 Corinthians 10:14, 2 Timothy 2:22, Romans 13:14, Genesis 39:12)
- Feed your soul (Matthew 4:1-11, Psalm 119:11)
Thank You, Lord, for saving our souls. Jesus is truly the only way out of this mess…take it!
