Temptation rarely shows up loud and obvious—it starts subtle and escalates fast. The serpent doesn’t just offer fruit; he offers autonomy, control, and the illusion that we can be our own god. And just like that burning bush story gone wrong, what seems small can spiral quickly. Sin always promises more than it delivers and costs more than we expect. At the core, this is about identity and trust—forgetting who God is and who we already are in Him. Every day we face two voices and two choices: life or death, control or surrender. The invitation is simple but powerful—step off the throne of your own life and let God be God again. (Talk by Joshua Ott)
