Pastor Jeff Reinhart · Apr 22, 2024
Drawing from Matthew 4:1-11, Pastor Jeff Reinhart shows how Jesus — fully human and fully God — faced three targeted attacks from the enemy while physically weak and alone in the wilderness, and overcame each one through scripture applied in context, Spirit-led perseverance, and reliance on God's power rather than His own. Because Jesus succeeded where Adam failed, He gives believers both a model and a motivation for resisting temptation: trusting what God wants most for us instead of settling for the enemy's counterfeit shortcuts.
Pastor Tim Beal · Feb 19, 2018
Drawing from the story of David, Nabal, and Abigail in 1 Samuel 25, Pastor Tim Bill argues that the quality of the voices we allow to speak into our lives determines whether we walk toward or away from temptation. Just as Abigail approached David with humility and redirected him from a catastrophic act of vengeance, the right friends — those with our genuine best interest at heart — guide us back toward wisdom and toward God. This kind of friendship is not accidental; it is cultivated in community, and it is ultimately rooted in Jesus, the friend who sticks closer than a brother.
