Temptation on SermonAudio

Rise Up and Go! In Mark 14, we see Jesus facing the greatest trial of His earthly ministry, yet He rose up and went forward in obedience to the Father's will. Missionary William Weimer challenged us to draw closer to God through prayer, submit our plans to His Word, remain faithful when life gets difficult, and refuse to follow Jesus from a distance. The world may be getting darker, but God is not finished working. Rise up and go!

This counseling session addresses the internal struggle with the sinful nature by defining the three primary enemies: the world, the flesh, and Satan. The speaker emphasizes that spiritual freedom flows from biblical absolutes, specifically the believer's union with Christ in His death and resurrection, as outlined in Colossians 3. Using Galatians 5 as the primary text, the session presents a three-step practical framework for overcoming fleshly temptations: maintaining a walk of honesty by acknowledging the reality of sin, affirming one's death to the rule of sin through faith, and actively walking in the Spirit to produce His fruit. The tone is instructional and pastoral, aiming to replace behavioral reform with a faith-based reliance on the Holy Spirit's power for transformation and victory.

Ask God for wisdom for the trial and it shall be given.

This sermon explores the narrative of Ruth 1:1-6 to illustrate the spiritual dangers of a 'day of small things,' characterized by decline, temptation, and disappointment. It argues that the famine in the land of promise serves as a divine warning against seeking provision in the world rather than in God, highlighting the ultimate futility of idolatry and worldly comfort. The preacher emphasizes that while believers may face seasons of scarcity or spiritual dryness, they must maintain their dependence on God's providence and grace. By contrasting the temporary allure of Moab with the enduring blessings of the Promised Land, the message calls for patient trust in God's redemptive plan, pointing ultimately to Christ as the Kinsman-Redeemer who restores what was lost.

David's fall began long before Bathsheba, he allowed disobedience to God continue never thinking it would catch up to him. Today we will see how we can mistake God's patience, and grace to try to manage sin instead of repenting. God's mercy gives us an opportunity to repent—but be sure your sin will find you out.

In 2019, the Pope of the Roman Catholic Church altered the English translation of the Lord's Prayer from 'and lead us not into temptation' to 'and do not let us fall into temptation'. Yet his alteration is linguistically indefensible. In doing this, the Pope has evidently not regarded what the Word of God actually says, but instead only to his own notions of God. However, given his stumbling, it may be profitable to inquire concerning their true meaning.
