How will we do it???

1 Corinthians 10:12-14
12 Wherefore let him that thinketh he standeth take heed lest he fall.
13 There hath no temptation taken you but such as is common to man: but God is faithful, who will not suffer you to be tempted above that ye are able; but will with the temptation also make a way to escape, that ye may be able to bear it.
14 Wherefore, my dearly beloved, flee from idolatry.

We are continuing our FALL sermon series about the Seasons of Life titled; Flavors of Fall. This week we will study NOT FALLING into TEMPTATION. Of course we think of temptation as the urge to do something we shouldn't do. We know that temptation will drag us down. And, temptation will separate us from God. We know to go to Jesus to return to God. Jesus has God on His side and will resist temptation.  Even when we fail.

Today's verse are here to tell us that GOD is NOT going to give us more than we can handle; First Corinthians, chapter ten, verse twelve through fourteen; "Wherefore let him that thinketh he standeth TAKE HEED lest he FALL." (LISTEN UP!) "There hath NO TEMPTATION taken you but such as is common to man: but God IS FAITHFUL, who will NOT suffer you to be TEMPTED above that ye are able; but will with the TEMPTATION also make a way to escape, that ye may be able to bear it." (YOU can DO it!!) "Wherefore, my dearly beloved, flee from IDOLATRY."

Remember that God gives you a way out! He asks that we flee from IDOLATRY! Idolatry is the extreme admiration, love, or reverence for something or someone other than the One TRUE GOD. We live in a VERY IDOLATROUS time! People put all kinds of things ahead of GOD. Some even put everything ahead of God!?!? Resisting this influence from our culture is a huge challenge for us...

to be taller

Matthew 6:27 "27 Which of you by taking thought can add one cubit unto his stature?" Jesus has questions... Beginning our study this week with "Why Do You Worry?" Questions have always been a cornerstone of education, used to assess students’ knowledge, promote comprehension, and stimulate critical thinking. Well-crafted questions lead to new insights, generate discussion, and promote the comprehensive exploration of the subject. It makes sense that GOD would use questions VERY effectively. In yesterday's verses, Jesus asked "Are you not MUCH BETTER than birds?" His questions do not end there. In today's verse we read another one, "Which of you by taking thought can add one cubit unto his stature?" This is a sentence our culture needs to learn. No anxiety, no thinking, no wanting will alter our bodily height, or any other condition of our life that is fixed by God’s laws. We often wish things were different than they are, but our "wo...

we also...

Romans 6:3&4 "3 Know ye not, that so many of us as were baptized into Jesus Christ were baptized into His death? 4 Therefore we are buried with Him by baptism into death: that like as Christ was raised up from the dead by the glory of the Father, even so we also should walk in newness of life." In our studies we are striving to understand God’s love and care. God's unconditional love for His followers, appreciating that we are part of GOD’S family! God is with us from cradle to grave. His divine presence is always giving us purpose and guidance. One of the most important milestones in the life of a Christian is baptism. When we are baptized, an indelible mark is made on our soul. This mark signifies a permanent transformation and dedication of the individual to God. The act of Baptism involves water and the invocation of the Holy Trinity. This ritual is seen as a symbolic washing away of original sin and a new birth into the life of Christ. Baptism is a foundational s...

our daily stress

Matthew 6:11 "Give us this day our daily bread." Last week we focused our studies on “Thy Will Be Done...” We can TRUST in the LORD with ALL our hearts. Let GOD lead us in our daily lives. GOD'S will is for you and me to follow His plan. Accept Jesus as your Lord and Savior. Serve Him by helping your friends and neighbors. It's a beautiful way. The rest of this petition is “On Earth as it is in Heaven.” We want God’s kingdom to be established on earth, reflecting the harmony and perfection found in heaven. We can have this in the here and now by prioritizing God’s will, seeking His guidance, and striving to live according to Biblical principles. However, we must keep in mind that we live in a fallen world. Too many will not join in our journey with Jesus. This tension and stress will cause everyone difficulties. This week we will study the fourth petition from the Lord's Prayer. "Give us this day our daily bread." God certainly gives daily bread to every...
