Every Christian wrestles with temptation, but the Bible outlines a clear plan for victory.By submitting to God, fleeing from sin, and choosing holiness daily, we can live in freedom and strength. In this episode, Pastor Jeff and Tiffany explore why we face temptation and how believers can overcome it. They unpack practical steps from Scripture to stay steadfast in faith and restore fellowship with God when we fall short.What We Discussed[00:00] Introduction: Spiritual Victory and TemptationPastor Jeff and Tiffany continue their series on practical theology, turning to the topic of temptation and how believers can live in victory through Christ.[01:18] The Story of José RiveraPastor Jeff shares a humorous story originally told by Ravi Zacharias that illustrates how easily temptation can win when we give in to selfish desires.[04:30] What Is Temptation?Temptation is the invitation to act against God's will. It can come from the sin nature within us, from Satan, or from the world around us.[05:19] Step 1: Decide Not to YieldVictory begins with a firm choice to resist. James 4:7 reminds us to “Resist the devil, and he will flee from you.”[06:33] Step 2: Submit to God ImmediatelyThe first move in any moment of temptation is to surrender control to God. Submission gives Him command of our hearts and strength to resist.[07:21] Step 3: Resist in God's StrengthWe cannot fight temptation in our own power. We must rely on God's strength and, when possible, remove ourselves from the situation, just as Joseph fled from Potiphar's wife in Genesis 39.[08:16] Step 4: Do the Holy AlternativeInstead of focusing only on what to avoid, believers are called to do the holy alternative, to obey God and walk in His will.[10:16] Step 5: Avoid What Tempts YouPaul's words in 2 Corinthians 6:17 call believers to “come out from among them and be separate.” Avoid people, places, and influences that stir temptation.[13:00] Step 6: Deal with Sin ImmediatelyWhen we fall, we must confess and repent quickly. Sin breaks fellowship with God, but confession restores intimacy and peace.[14:04] What Happens When Fellowship BreaksSin doesn't destroy salvation, but it creates a barrier in our relationship with God. Like conflict in a family, the bond remains, but the closeness is lost until forgiveness is sought.[16:00] Restoring Fellowship through RepentanceRepentance is turning 180 degrees back toward God. 1 John 1:9 assures us that when we confess, He is faithful to forgive and cleanse us. Even after failure, repentance brings victory.[17:37] The Real VictoryNo victory over temptation is permanent in this life, but every defeat can become victory when it leads us back to repentance and renewal in Christ.“Defeat can become victory when repentance leads us back to God.” – Pastor Jeff CranstonWe love your feedback!

Daily Dose of Hope October 14, 2025   Scripture – John 6:25-55   Prayer:  Holy God, We come before you today with such gratefulness.  You are a good God and you love us so very much.  Thank you, Lord.  Help us seek holiness. Help us set aside our worldly distractions and focus on you today, Jesus.  In your name, Amen.   Welcome back to the Daily Dose of Hope, the devotional/podcast that goes along with New Hope Church's daily Bible reading plan.  As most of you know, we are in the middle of a deep dive into the Gospels and Acts.  Today, we are finishing John 6.   We mentioned this briefly in yesterday's devotional - the people have come looking for Jesus.  They don't know how he got across the lake but when they discover where he is, they go seeking him. They want more food!  Honestly, we can't blame them.  They were very hungry people.  But Jesus can see in their hearts.  He knows that they need so much more than physical sustenance.    Jesus tries to explain that what he offers is better than the manna that God provided Moses and the people in the wilderness.  He offers the bread of life.  Not surprisingly, this doesn't make a lot of sense to them.  Of course they want this bread.  It sounds amazing.  To never be hungry would be a huge thing to this group.    But Jesus knows that this group of people isn't quite ready for what he really means by bread of life.  They aren't ready to understand the kind of salvation that Jesus offers.  They can't quite get it that Jesus, as manna, is the true source of life.  And the theme of Jesus as manna from heaven continues through the chapter.   Here is where things start to get hard.  Some of the Jews in the crowd start grumbling.  “Isn't this Jesus, Joseph's son?” they ask.  How could he be from heaven?  The grumbling is possibly intended to echo the grumbling of the Israelites in the Exodus story.  They have experienced God's salvation – it's right in front of them – but they don't fully trust in God's provision.   Jesus is different from manna in an important way through.  The ancestors died in the wilderness but those who eat Jesus' bread do not die.  Jesus as manna is redeeming the sin of the previous generations of God's people.  Jesus is providing nourishment that endures and saves.   But this was really hard teaching.  Many people stopped following Jesus.  I think this is a good lesson for us.  When we get discouraged because people we know and care about refuse to follow Jesus, we can think about all the people who had Jesus directly in front of them and they still did not believe.  Flesh and blood Jesus Christ walked among them and they walked away.    Blessings, Pastor Vicki

This podcast episode is about integration. How do we go forward with all the colonial code, bumping up against the remembrance of our ancestral code? How do we integrate the concrete and the care? The cop in our head and the kid in our heart? How do we invite our fear and our spirit to the table? How might we act as the compassionate mediator? How might that compassionate mediation facilitate a practice of making art? My intention behind recording this episode is to wade inside of some of these questions with you.ResourcesLearn more and enroll into The Laboratory of Erotic Engineering: https://www.seedaschool.com/labLearn more and book a free Desire Discovery Call for 1:1 Erotic Engineering: https://www.seedaschool.com/engineerSubscribe to the Seeda School Substack: ⁠https://seedaschool.substack.com/⁠Follow Ayana on Instagram: ⁠⁠@ayzaco⁠⁠Follow Ayana on Threads: ⁠⁠@ayzaco⁠⁠Follow Seeda School on Instagram: ⁠⁠@seedaschool⁠CitationsMexican artist Pedro Reyes believes in art's functionality...“Truth, Lee and Elaw practiced what Phyllis Mack calls “spiritual theatre.” — Jayna Brown writing about Sojourner Truth in “Along the Psychic Highway: Black Women Mystics and Utopias of the Ecstatic”, Black Utopias: Speculative Life and the Music of Other Worlds, pg. 28 (2021)The Flesh of the Matter: A Critical Forum on Hortense Spillers (2024) edited by Margo Natalie Crawford and C.

Join us for an inspiring and hope-filled discussion on reclaiming your mental and spiritual well-being. Quotables from the episode: Today, we're going to be talking about conquering the three enemies of mental health. We’re attacked by the enemy on a daily basis. The key is to recognize the attack and fight back with the right weapons. I grew up in an Islamic household. And so just growing up, my understanding of the character of God was distorted. And so I grew up believing in a different God, but I thought he was the right God. I came to know the Lord is through a dream about Jesus. Growing up, I battled with my own depression. I battled with anxiety, but I didn't know that they were clinical depression and anxiety. It's like I was high functioning. I thought anxiety was the norm. It was normal for me to think something bad is about to happen. I had the symptoms of the clinical diagnosis. And it was about, I'd say, early 20s or so, when my depression just got worse and worse, to the point of suicidal ideations because I felt like I was, I had no hope. I decided to blaze my own trail. And I mean, I drove into astrology. I drove into chakras, reiki, everything you can think of. I tried to figure out my own purpose in life. And none of that brought me the peace that I remembered feeling when I had a dream about Jesus. What's incredible is God is so kind and so patient with us. You know, he didn't stop pursuing me. He didn't throw in the towel on me. He just kept pursuing and pursuing and he knew I was going to hit a dead end at some point and I did. I decided to give my life to Jesus and after I gave my life to Jesus and I moved to South Carolina and I just started my life from scratch. The Lord called me to the field of counseling. I had never thought I was going to become a counselor, but I felt the Holy Spirit for the first time, and I just felt this call toward the field. So I went back to school, finished my clinicals, and then I started treating brothers and sisters in the faith from both a clinical and a biblical perspective. I could not believe just how many patients I had who were self -professing believers, who struggled with the same ideas and the same issues and negative thoughts and oppressions that I struggled with as a Muslim. I noticed that even believers are not equipped to fight against spiritual forces of darkness. They're not. How did your family take it when you became a believer in Jesus Christ? – They didn't take it well. I had experienced persecution because of that. And the reason I moved to South Carolina is for safety reasons. I needed to start my life from scratch, but of course they found me and you know the Bible says count the cost Jesus said count the cost and for me the count the cost was my mother my father brother sisters my family was everything to me and I was raised with I pledged my allegiance to my family and so my allegiance would have been divided. When Jesus says that basically you have to put him before your mom and dad, it's not that you need to hate them, it's that you need to love him more. How does scripture reveal the roles of the devil, the flesh and the world as adversaries to mental health? What I have seen my practice is the devil will do anything possible to split our faith in Jesus. So even if it's 90% in Jesus and 10% in the object of our faith, that's splitting your faith in Jesus. We were made for relationships. When we spend time with the Lord, when we spend time with God, there is a chemical that gets released in our body and that chemical is serotonin that chemical combats depression just naturally okay now what happens is because we have the wrong perspective of God. We don't spend time with Him. We think the Bible is outdated. A lot of people think that. They have actually done a research out of Biola University where they claim that God is, they found that most people believe that God is mean, harsh, or distant. Those are the top three adjectives they use to describe God. And because of all of that, we run to self -medicate. And so, we self -medicate by watching too much Netflix, too much TV, right? We don't pay attention. For overcoming enemy number one, the devil, you have to renounce your dealings with the kingdom of darkness. There's no way around that. Now, number one, if you're not a believer, you have to give your life to Jesus. And I feel like I have to say this because I have had patients who came to see me and said, "Can you do it for me because you're a believer? Can we bypass Jesus?" No, we can't bypass Jesus. That's just not how it works. And the reason they say that is because they believe Jesus is a dictator and they have the wrong perspective about him. And so, they don't understand that he's a God who pursued them to the point of dying on the cross for them to satisfy the righteous requirement of sin so that they can have a relationship with Him. And so, number one, you have to have a relationship with Jesus. Psalm 139 that says, "Search me, O God, and know my heart. Test me and know my anxious thoughts. Point out anything in me that's offensive to you and lead me to the path of everlasting life." And just ask him to show you what in your life is taken priority or is not of him. And he will show you. It's a dangerous prayer, but he will show you. Don't ever think that God is condemning you because in Jesus there's no condemnation and God is not a man that he should lie. He doesn't lie to you. There's no condemnation. He may convict you if you're acting in a way that is incongruent to who you are in Jesus. But conviction says, "Hey, you should not have done that." Condemnation says, "Hey, you're a loser, you're this, you're that, and you'll never come back from it." There's a huge difference between the two. One, it redeems you. Because conviction is for the purpose of restoring our relationship with God. But condemnation serves to separate us. You know, when we feel guilty or condemned, we're embarrassed. And so, we separate ourselves from others and from God. So, there's a huge distinction between the two. The other area that the enemy gets a foothold besides lying to us is that very subtle did “God really say…? If he really loved you he would have X, Y, and Z.” It's that little word really that gets us to doubt what the Bible says about God. That's the oldest lie. It's the oldest lie. It dates back to Genesis and so what he does is he induces doubt. That's the cycle of enemy number one. He induces doubt and when he says “did God really tell you?” or “Does God really love you?” “Is God really looking out for you?” And he'll come to you, especially in times when you're desperate, then doubt leads to temptation and when you act on it and you don't receive God's forgiveness or you don't repent and receive God's forgiveness, it leads to shame and shame is going to lead to hiding. Unfortunately, we wear these masks and I call them defense mechanisms. Defense mechanisms are basically masks that we wear in order to keep God from, I mean, he's trying to heal us, but we try to push him away and keep him from healing the wounds that he's trying to heal. And these defense mechanisms that we employ, and I list all of them in the book, but most common ones are denial, like we deny that there's an issue with us, or there's repression, meaning we don't deny the problem, but we deny its effects on us. We act like, “Oh, no, everything is fine. Everything is okay.” Meanwhile, God wants us to bear our hearts to him. He wants us to surrender our wounds to him. Another practical way is ask the Lord to prioritize your life. It's a dangerous prayer and it's a dangerous request because he will prune who needs to be pruned. Yes, he will. Anything that doesn't bear fruit, he’s going cut off. So, it is a risky prayer, but what a fruitful prayer. Yes, because we were made for his purpose, and we were made to bear fruit. He made us for a specific purpose. And so many times, we just hit one dead end after another, after another, and we live a frustrated life, but really we can live a fruitful life if we just surrender to him and ask him, "Lord, I can't do it by myself. I need you to please just prioritize my life according to your will." And he will, because he wants to be part of every detail of our lives. For the longest time, I had a habit of just waking up and I just felt like I would wake up with anxiety. And believe it or not, so many people deal with this. They wake up and it's like, as soon as their feet hit the floor, like their heart is racing. And what I have found, something that I have found that has helped me so much. And if you want to start this tomorrow morning, and it has a clinical and a biblical basis is tomorrow morning, when you wake up, because it has helped me, instead of first thing is checking your phone, checking your email, because that's what I was doing, is first thing you do, start thanking the Lord God, spend 10 minutes, even if you have to wake up 10 minutes earlier, spend time thanking God for 10 minutes for everything He has done for you. You can find something, even if you are in the midst of despair, you can find something to thank God for. When we start thanking God, there's a chemical in our brain that gets released. It's called serotonin and it combats depression. That chemical floods your body, first thing in the morning, and so it decreases anxiety and it raises, it almost puts a shelter around your brain for any depressive thoughts. That's from a clinical perspective. From a biblical perspective, the Word of God says the Lord inhabits the praises of His people. When we're thanking God for everything He's doing for us and thanking and for who he is, God's presence, God is love and his presence comes and inhabits our praises. God is love and perfect love casts out fear. So, the spirit of fear has to flee when God's presence is there. No matter how many mistakes you have made in the past, no matter how bad you had messed up in the past, that God's grace covers you and there's no way that you could have outrun God. God's grace covers you and his mercy is new for you each and every morning and so remember that and remind yourself of that. God is not looking down on you with a magnifying glass. God loves you and he is just in love with you. And it's the enemy who brings those thoughts that accuse you. The war over your mind doesn’t have to be lost.

In this episode of the Jesus Everyday Podcast, Ethan Callison, Ken Nienke, and Andrew McPheron walk through one of Jesus' most difficult teachings: “Unless you eat my flesh and drink my blood, you have no life in you” (John 6:53).This passage caused the Jews to grumble, dispute, and even walk away from Jesus. But what does it really mean? Is Jesus speaking literally, symbolically, or pointing to something deeper?

In this episode, Pastors Chad and Johnny dive into the inner conflict every believer faces — the tension between wanting to do what's right and feeling pulled toward what's wrong. Paul's words in Romans 7 remind us that this struggle is real, but so is the hope we have in Christ.Today's scripture passage is found in Romans 7WANT TO BE BAPTIZED? | www.genesischurchorlando..comWANT MORE CONTENT?Click the link below to see the teaching that's tied to this podcastwww.genesischurchorlando.com/sermonsDISCUSSION BELOW ⬇️ !!!

Today, we tackle an enemy most men never face head-on—your own flesh.Comfort? Make no mistake, comfort is killing us. The flesh isn't harmless. It isn't neutral. It's a beast that wants to drag you to Hell. Scripture says, “Those who belong to Christ Jesus have crucified the flesh with its passions and desires.” (Galatians 5:24) Not managed. Not excused. Crucified.The world says feed your cravings. Jesus says—kill them.The cost? Daily death. Agony. Public humiliation. Cancel culture backlash. But the reward—oh, the reward—is life, freedom, peace, and resurrection power.What will you do? Will you crucify your flesh today—or let it control you tomorrow?Buckle up. This isn't self-help fluff. This is raw, real, rooted in the living Word. Let's go to war."For if you live according to the flesh, you will die; but if by the Spirit you put to death the deeds of the body, you will live." – Romans 8:13Episode Highlights:01:30 - The flesh is evil, it's destructive, it's not neutral, it's not harmless, and it's not something that you can just simply manage on on your own. The flesh is the enemy of God. And if you're not actively crucifying it, I don't care how many times you've been to church or how many Bible verses you've memorized or how loudly you can sing Amazing Grace, your flesh is going to drag you straight into destruction. I understand that might sound harsh, but believe me, I didn't write the Bible. The Word of God is crystal clear about this. The flesh and the spirit are at war with each other. And unless you crucify the flesh, like literally nail it to a cross, you're not going to experience the life that Christ died to give you.13:00 - The flesh isn't neutral and it's not just weak, it's hostile to God. That word hostile means enemy. The flesh hates God. It refuses to submit to God. In other words, when you walk in the flesh, you're aligning yourself with God's enemy. You're standing in opposition to the very one who made you... The acts of the flesh are obvious. Sexual immorality, impurity, debauchery, idolatry and witchcraft. Hatred, discord, jealousy, fits of rage, selfish ambition, dissensions, factions and envy, drunkenness, orgies and the like. I warn you, as I did before, that those who live like this will not inherit the kingdom of God. 57:11 - Again, remember, please, this is not optional. This is not only for super Christians. This is Christianity 101. Jesus didn't say, if you feel like it, deny yourself. He didn't say, if it's convenient, pick up your cross. No. What did he say? He said this. Whoever wants to be my disciple must deny themselves and take up their cross daily and follow me. That is the standard. That's the cost.  Connect with Paul M. NeubergerWebsite

The eye reveals what is in the heart, v. 28Lust does four things… a) starts with dissatisfaction b) turns people into things c) teaches you to relate to the world out of your appetites instead of your understanding d) trains you to sow to the flesh • Galatians 6:7-8 • Galatians 5:19-21Signs You Are Sowing to the Flesh 1) Pleasure becomes your master- "sexual immorality, impurity, sensuality . . .” 2) Worship is misplaced- “. . . idolatry, sorcery . . .” 3) Conflict is your pattern- “. . . enmity, strife, jealousy . . .” 4) You can't control your emotions- “. . . fits of anger . . .” 5) Competitiveness is your posture- “..rivalries, dissensions, divisions . . .” 6) You refuse to celebrate others- “. . . envy . . .” 7) Escapism is a way of life- “. . . drunkenness, orgies, and things like these.”3. Jesus is trying to change the way we view sin, v. 29-31 • Matthew 7:24-27Mental worship… 1. In your opinion, have Christians changed the way the culture views marriage or has the culture changed the way Christians view marriage?  2. Is there anybody or anything that you currently desire too much? 3. What struck you today as something you will need to think more about?  4. If you are a Christian, how has your view of sin changed since you came to faith?  5. How do you feel when the rain, floods and wind beat down on your life?

What if the biggest barrier to generosity and service isn't your schedule or your budget—but your heart? Long before Jesus walked the earth, God promised to replace hearts of stone with hearts of flesh. We'll explore how Jesus expands on that promise, revealing that giving and serving aren't just good deeds—they're reflections of a transformed heart. Is it time for a spiritual heart transplant?

SouthCrest Church Sunday message, 10/5/25. Senior Pastor Matt McFadden steers  our Bible journey into Paul's admonishment to the Galatians—and us—in Galatians 3. In this chapter our foolish attempt to attach works to our salvation is called out. Was the cross not enough? Did Jesus labor in vain? No! Our salvation is by grace alone, through faith alone, in Christ alone.

Pastor Kurt takes a deep dive into Philippians 3:1–11, where Paul lays aside performance-based religion, rejecting confidence in his own achievements. He embraces righteousness through faith in Christ and commits to knowing Him deeply. His life is now marked by living in pursuit of resurrection power, even through suffering, with the goal of eternal life in Christ.

You may earnestly desire to soar through the air like an eagle, but no matter how hard you flap your arms, you will never get off the ground. You are physically unable to fly without some sort of flying apparatus. Likewise, human beings are spiritually incapable of coming to Christ for salvation without God performing a supernatural work of saving grace in them. Has God's grace overcome your natural spiritual hostility against him? Listen as Dr. Barnhouse teaches from Romans 8:7-8 on Dr. Barnhouse and the Bible.

Many people believe that all religions are merely the same roads leading to the same destination. But did you realize that with one exception, the statement is actually true? All religions except for biblical Christianity are different roads to eternal destruction because they are based upon human rather than divine principles. How can we learn to discern the truth from the counterfeit religions of the flesh in all its manifestations?

Within you is flesh. Flesh is drawn to sin. It sees a sign that says “Wet Paint Do Not Touch” and immediately WANTS to touch it. It is defiant and rebellious and continually wants it's own way – and the way of flesh is never the right way. But did you know Jesus offers an […]

You can use a canoe for a nice long trip on a lake or a river, but you would never survive if you tried to paddle it across the Pacific Ocean. The distance between God's holiness and our sinfulness is infinite, and many people try to bridge this gap by their own righteousness and good works. But God considers this way of approaching Him to be completely inadequate and unacceptable. Do you know God's method for obtaining peace with Him?

Marriage is about becoming one—but what does that mean for your money? For many couples, the question of whether to combine bank accounts or keep them separate is one of the first major financial decisions they face. While the Bible doesn't speak directly to checking accounts, it does give us a clear picture of what unity, trust, and stewardship look like in marriage.What Scripture Says About OnenessIn Mark 10:7–8, Jesus says, “Therefore a man shall leave his father and mother and hold fast to his wife, and the two shall become one flesh.”That phrase, “one flesh,” is more than physical—it describes an emotional, spiritual, and practical union. Marriage is about sharing a life together, and that includes finances. The Bible doesn't command couples to have joint accounts, but it does call us to transparency, mutual submission, and faithful stewardship.Joint accounts are one practical way to live this out, offering a structure of accountability and openness. Separate accounts, while not inherently sinful, can sometimes become symbolic of separate lives if not handled with care.A story from a banker friend drives this home. One day, a woman came into the bank distraught after discovering her husband had a secret credit card with thousands of dollars in gambling debt. The shock wasn't just about money—it was about broken trust.Financial infidelity is devastating because it goes deeper than dollars and cents. It damages the foundation of unity. Ephesians 5:21 reminds us: “Submit to one another out of reverence for Christ.” That submission extends to our financial decisions.Practical Ways to Build Financial UnitySo, what does financial oneness look like in real life? Here are a few steps couples can take:1. Hold Regular Money DatesSet aside time each month to review your budget, giving, and goals. These conversations don't have to be stressful—they can strengthen communication and provide alignment in your marriage.2. Build a Shared Emergency FundSaving three to six months of expenses together demonstrates trust and unity. It says, “We're in this together, no matter what comes.”3. Use Tools That Foster UnityBudgeting apps like the FaithFi app can help you and your spouse manage money together with clarity and purpose. Built on biblical principles, it's more than just software—it's a discipleship tool.Why Financial Unity MattersFinancial unity is ultimately about more than accounts and numbers. It's about our hearts. When couples pursue oneness in their finances, they reflect the greater reality of Christ's love for His church—a bond marked by trust, sacrifice, and faithfulness.Your bank account setup matters far less than your posture toward one another. Ask yourselves:Are we making decisions together?Are we being transparent and honest?Are we aligning our finances with God's purposes?When the answer is yes, your marriage becomes a living testimony of the Gospel.A Bigger Vision for StewardshipAt the end of the day, combining or separating accounts isn't the ultimate issue. The greater call is to live as one—financially, emotionally, and spiritually—while stewarding God's resources faithfully.And if you'd like to go deeper in this journey, I invite you to become a FaithFi Partner.

When a person becomes a Christian, a battle begins between the flesh and the spirit. The flesh is that part of our lives that desires sinful things; the spirit is that part of our lives that wants to glorify God. Our flesh always wants to dominate, but the Bible tells us to die to self and live in the spirit. Paul writes about this spiritual battle in Galatians 5, and he gives us three practical ways we can win the war within. Follow along in today's study as Pastor Gary explains this battle of the flesh and spirit.

Romans 7:6 — What does it mean to be in the Spirit? In this sermon on Romans 7:6 titled “In the Spirit or in the Flesh?” Dr. Martyn Lloyd-Jones shares that it means the Christian lives in a totally new way than before. He says that to be in the Spirit is to live in Christ and renewed daily in His power. He contrasts the new life with the old life of sin and bondage under the law. The law was good, but because of human sin and depravity, it brought only condemnation. Jesus is better than the law. Jesus died for His people and makes them new creatures in Christ if they believe in His gospel. Jesus brings commandments that are not burdensome, but rather they are freeing. The glory of this new life is in living in the Holy Spirit as children of God. Christians are no longer slaves to sin and immorality. The most important question then is how does one live this life? The answer is by believing in the gospel of Christ, and in His death, burial, and resurrection as the only means of salvation and peace with God. This message is the only way of true peace and joy with God.
