“I CAN Endure Temptation”

11/06/22 - Sun AM Worship

This message is another installment in our 2022 theme series: "I Can Do All Things Through Christ Who Strengthens Me." In this message, we hone in on temptation: What it is and isn't, how we often think rightly or wrongly about it, and where the power to bear it comes from. It's a good lesson for new Christians and seasoned Christians, because it reminds us that God's grace is continually at work in us as we do our best to live for his glory.

Here's some of the advice given toward the end of the message to help us bear our temptations:

• Insulate your eyes, heart, & habits from temptation.
• Don’t put yourself in situations of strong temptation.
• Decide in advance how to endure (or escape).
• Think about the consequences every single time.
• Create vibrant, healthy spiritual habits.Warning: Don’t get arrogant (cf. 1 Cor. 10:12)
