Trifecta of Temptation

This message, given at Christian Baptist Church in Decatur, IL, focuses on the three biggest areas of temptation in the lives of Christians.

Eve was enticed, Jesus suffered temptation, and John the apostle warned his readers in 1 John 2:16 about the same three things.

The Trifecta of Temptation. The lust of the flesh, the lust of the eyes, and the pride of life.

How can we fight temptation? The same way Jesus did! With TRUTH!!!

 

7 Things Christians Should Give Up to Reach Unchurched People

Living Worship

The Spirit of the Lord really spoke today at Mt. Pleasant COG.

Buckle up, today’s sermon is 57 minutes… However, this is a topic God himself is passionate about, and so am I, worshipping him in all we do!

“Work willingly at whatever you do, as though you were working for the Lord rather than for people. Remember that the Lord will give you an inheritance as your reward, and that the Master you are serving is Christ!” Colossians 3:23-24 NLT

We were made to worship, and we will worship something… God wants all our worship!

 

Please note, 1 Peter 4:16 is referenced during the sermon… However, that is a typo in my notes. The verse is 1 Peter 4:11.

Adopted

This week’s sermon was given at Mt. Pleasant Church of God in Assumption, IL.

John 1:12 says, “But to all who have received him – those who believe in his name – he has given the right to become God’s children.” –New English Translation

What does it really mean to be a child of God? Who are the children of God? What does it look like to be adopted into the family of God? How should life look as the family of God?

These questions and more are answered in this morning’s sermon.
