San Lucas 4:12

Pressure and confusion can bring out the worst in us, but God’s Word is a powerful tool to combat our triggers with His truth.

This plan is a continuing discussion on running the “race set before us” from the book of Hebrews, chapter 12, verse 1. In each of three parts, we will discuss one disciplined commitment that successful Christ followers may utilize to finish their race, still running strongly.

Temptation is not a new question, but rather an old question which is faced across cultures. Tackling temptation will require you to understand the source of your temptation.

Temptations are all around us. Deceptions come to us in the subtlest ways. How can we overcome them? What are the tools the Bible gives us to guard against the evil one? In this four-day devotional we look at the three temptations of Jesus Christ, how He victoriously overcame them and how we can apply some of His principles in our lives.
