“On one hand, we underestimate the power of temptation, and on the other hand, we overestimate the power of temptation. We can feel that it’s so strong, it’s more powerful than God. These are two dangerous extremes.”
We all face temptation. Harmless as it may seem— we drop our guard, we take something that isn’t ours, we use the easy way out, just this once— but giving in has serious consequences. In this message, Peter Klause, an elder at Joshua Generation Church in San Clemente, explores how we can be at risk of either underestimating the power of temptation and taking the bait, or becoming overwhelmed and giving up. But there's good news— God provides a way out! Find strength to overcome in Jesus, your ultimate escape route. He empathises with our struggles, advocates for us, empowers us to resist, and leads us to true freedom. We don't have to fight alone!
