Listen "How Do I Resist Temptation?"
Episode Synopsis
Have you ever found yourself wrestling with temptation, wondering how to resist its relentless pull? In his poignant sermon, Pastor Mike delves into the heart of temptation through the lens of 1 Corinthians 10, illuminating how the ancient Israelites' struggles mirror our own. He emphasizes that every temptation is common to humankind, revealing that the allure of sin is something we all face, yet, "the strength to resist temptation comes from trusting in the faithful sovereignty of God." Pastor Mike encourages us to recognize that God permits temptation not for our downfall but as an opportunity for us to cling to Him. In times of struggle, we must remember that God provides a way of escape, allowing us to endure the storm of our desires through His grace. He reminds the congregation that temptation is not about proving our faithfulness to God but rather about highlighting God's unwavering commitment to us. As we enter this week, Pastor Mike calls on us to embrace Christ fully, trusting that, even when faced with our weaknesses, His strength will empower us to overcome. Accept this challenge – run to Christ, allow Him to be your refuge, and experience the freedom He offers through His love.churchatbergen.org
