Valley View Baptist Church

This morning Pastor Justin showed us briefly how we can have the power to overcome temptation; with a steady diet of God's Word, and by being faithful in prayer.

Tonight we dive a little deeper into these two aids and examine eight things we should remember in times when we are tempted. If you remember these things, and exercise them when we face temptation, then we can overcome it!

"God will never ask us to do something that we are incapable of doing without His help."

When we think of temptation, the common first thoughts we have are of being tempted by alcohol, or drugs, or pornography. But temptation runs much deeper than just those things, and we ALL face temptations. Maybe it's a temptation to be unfaithful, to not attend church, to skip your prayers or Bible readings, or to be dishonest at your job.

No matter who you are, or what your position, you probably know exactly what your personal temptation is. Because it affects us all; even Jesus faced temptation.

It's a trial of the mind to try and entice the flesh to do evil. While we may be chained by sin and temptation by birth, by nature, and by choice, we do not have to hold on to those chains when we are set free!

Tonight we were honored to have with us the first Pastor of Valley View Baptist Church, Bro. AJ Crawford, who has been in the ministry for over 60 years!

Bro. AJ shared a message with us titled Meet Me in Galilee. Jesus told His Disciples to meet Him there. And 2000 years later, we can still find Him there!

When we think about Joesph's coat, we default to what the Bible calls the coat of many colors. However, Joseph wore many coats, each with a different meaning. This morning we take a look at The Coasts that Joseph Wore and the symbolism and imagery associated with each of them.

One was a coat of salvation, another was a coat of separation (Christian character), and yet another was a coat of service. This morning, Bro. Justin shows us the meaning of each of these coats, and how we can adorn ourselves with the coats of Joseph.

Pastor Justin is under the weather tonight (please keep him in your prayers) and unable to preach, so Bro. Keith Elkins gave us a message on salvation and the Master's Will.

Paul tells the church of Galatia to remember that Christ died for their sins, unto salvation, and to flee the perverse gospels and stick to the Master's Will.
