No temptation has overtaken you except what is common to humanity.
God is faithful, and He will not allow you to be tempted beyond what
you are able, but with the temptation He will also provide a way of
escape so that you are able to bear it.
You are not alone when you face temptations.
1. All temptations are common to humanity: not everyone, but some one
you know faces the same temptations you face.
2. Jesus was also tempted (Heb 4:14-16).
3. He will not aloe you to be tempted beyond what you are able b/c He
is there to provide a way out.
You don't have to fall to your temptations.
1. God provides a way of escape.
2. Resist the Devil and he will flee from you (James 4:6-8).
3. Your temptations are most often your own (James 1:12-15), therefore
you can, by the grace of God resist that temptation (Rom 6:12-14).
Thank You Father for slavery to righteousness.
Thank You Son for redemption from the slave market to sin.
Thank You Spirit for the appliccation of that redemption to me.
What temptation must you resist today?
How will these promises give you the hope, courage, trust, and faith
not to fall?
Trusting the Promises together!
Pastor Greg
