The Chapel Fort Wayne

Temptation, trials and tests are inevitable. But we are not alone. As we hide His word in our heart, we can become overcomers.

He keeps His promises and He will not give us more than we can bear. He sets the limits.

Pastor Rick Hawks leads us through a devotion on our memory verse for the "Overcomers" message series, 1 Corinthians 10:13. How do you handle trials and temptations that come your way? Listen to see how He provides a way out.

Our world is more than our planet or an idiom for humankind, but rather it represents the desires and distractions of our human culture that pull us away from God. The way we overcome those temptations is to recognize that all of it will someday pass away.

Victory in Jesus is available to us because of what He has already done. But when we find ourselves straying from His will for our lives, or in the Apostle John’s words “walking in darkness,” victory begins when we have the courage to confess our sins.

The title of "overcomer" is typically given to those extraordinary people who have won victory over seemingly impossible obstacles. In sports we think of Bethany Hamilton; in history we think of the colonists; and in the Bible people like Moses and Joseph come to mind. But this weekend we will dive into 4 short verses in the New Testament that shed light on the fact that we are already overcomers!

This is a first for me, and I’ll bet it’s a first for you as well - E-communion. It may not be the same as when we are together, but, wherever you are, you are still with the Lord.

You’ve heard the saying that it’s never too late to believe in Jesus, but according to the Parable of the 10 Virgins, it may be better to change that to it’s never too soon to believe in Jesus.

Waiting and predicting go hand in hand. But as we wait for Jesus’ return, we need to be prepared for the fact that for some of us, he will come sooner than expected.

Waiting and predicting go hand in hand. The same is true for the return of Jesus. As we wait for His second coming, it’s in our human nature to predict when it’s going to happen, but Jesus shares in the Olivet Discourse that there are more important things than predicting.
