In this episode of the Strength & Weakness Podcast, hosts Guy Hammond and Davion Hambrick dive deep into the often-misunderstood topic of temptation.Is being tempted the same as sinning? Why does the Bible say even Jesus was tempted in every way? And could it be that temptation isn't a punishment but actually an opportunity to grow, declare your loyalty to God, and become more like Christ?Guy and Davion challenge the stigma around temptation, share personal stories, and explore passages like James 1 and Romans 7 to reveal a new perspective: temptation is not your downfall—it's your chance to put faith into action.Whether you're wrestling with everyday struggles or seeking encouragement in your spiritual walk, this conversation will give you a fresh outlook on overcoming sin and embracing the refining process that draws us closer to Jesus.

Welcome to The Daily, where we study the Bible verse by verse, chapter by chapter, every day. Check out our mission to teach every verse of the Bible on video in what we call Project23. Our text today is Judges 8:10-13. Now Zebah and Zalmunna were in Karkor with their army, about 15,000 men, all who were left of all the army of the people of the East, for there had fallen 120,000 men who drew the sword. And Gideon went up by the way of the tent dwellers east of Nobah and Jogbehah and attacked the army, for the army felt secure. And Zebah and Zalmunna fled, and he pursued them and captured the two kings of Midian, Zebah and Zalmunna, and he threw all the army into a panic. Then Gideon the son of Joash returned from the battle by the ascent of Heres. — Judges 8:10-13 The chase is over. Gideon captures Zebah and Zalmunna, the two Midianite kings. The victory is amazing—what began with 300 men now ends with an army of 120,000 wiped out. But here's the danger. After exhaustion and criticism comes temptation. Power can twist our perspective. Victory can be intoxicating. Leaders who experience wins can quickly lose their way if pride, anger, or vengeance worm into their hearts. Gideon stands at that crossroads. Your greatest temptations often follow your greatest victories. When the adrenaline fades and the applause starts, the enemy whispers, “You did this. You deserve more. Take what's yours.” For Gideon, the temptation is vengeance and pride. For us, it might look like self-congratulation after a big accomplishment, bitterness toward someone who doubted us, or entitlement that makes us think we've earned a pass from obedience. The real test of leadership isn't just whether you can lead the battle—it's whether you can lead your heart humbly when the battle is done. God calls us to victory without arrogance, strength without vengeance, and success without self-worship. So when God gives you a win, don't let temptation rob you of the blessing. Celebrate his power, not yours. Point the spotlight back where it belongs—on Him alone. ASK THIS: When has success tempted me more than failure? Where do I feel the pull toward pride, vengeance, or entitlement? How can I guard my heart in moments of victory? What practices help me point glory back to God? DO THIS: The next time you experience success—big or small—pause and redirect the credit. Thank God openly, and resist the temptation to take the glory for yourself. PRAY THIS: Lord, protect my heart in moments of success. Keep me humble, guard me from pride, and help me see every victory as Yours, not mine. Amen. PLAY THIS: "Not To Us."

How do you know when you're being tempted? There are times when temptation seems obvious, but often it's subtle and discreet, appealing at first until you find yourself caught in a snare. The call in Scripture is constant to watch, be vigilant, stay awake, be aware of the temptation that is coming, and to pray. In Psalm 141, David, keenly aware of the snares that surrounded him cried out desperately to the one who could deliver him from sin and temptation. Listen as Pastor Josué Pernillo preaches on this psalm, showing us how we, too, can cry to the Lord for help, praying against a sinful heart, for sinful people, about the sinful consequences, for sin's resolve.

I. Pastoral Humility. II. Pastoral Integrity. III. Pastoral Proximity.

This week, Pastor John uses the story of Samson to show how sin disguises itself to draw us in and how temptation patiently targets our weaknesses. While the enemy delights in our downfall, Jesus delights in our forgiveness and transforms what once bound us into a testimony of His grace and freedom.

In today's devotional, Dr. Michael A. Youssef looks at John's warnings about false teaching.If you would like more insight into today's devotional topic, listen to Dr. Michael A. Youssef's sermon Life at Its Best, Part 3: LISTEN NOWFOR YOUR GIFT OF ANY AMOUNTFor those who feel battle-worn—disheartened by society's moral decline, burdened for their children and grandchildren, weary from fighting the same battles—Dr. Michael A. Youssef's NEW book Winning the Invisible Waroffers timely hope. Speaking directly to those wondering if evil is winning, Dr. Youssef assures us although the war isn't over, victory is already secured in Christ.

Before David fell publicly, he drifted privately. His story reminds us that sin rarely happens in a single moment—it happens through a series of unchecked decisions, quiet compromises, and subtle desires that pull our hearts away from God. In Week 5 of The Life of David, Pastor Dustin Woodward takes us into one of the most pivotal chapters in David's life: the moment temptation turned into tragedy. What began as a glance became deception, a decision, and ultimately, destruction. But even in David's darkest chapter, God's grace wasn't finished writing his story. Temptation isn't just about weakness—it's about where we've placed our loyalty. Will we trust God's will, or satisfy self-will? Through Scripture and honest reflection, Pastor Dustin shows us how temptation takes root, why desire can't be controlled outside of God's design, and how conviction opens the door to restoration. Key Scriptures: 2 Samuel 11 | James 1:14–15 | Titus 2:11–14 In this message, you'll discover: How small moments of compromise lead to life-changing consequences The difference between temptation and participation Why deception grows when we negotiate with sin instead of confronting it How conviction, not condemnation, leads to freedom and restoration The transforming power of grace that can redeem any failure If you've ever felt trapped by temptation or weighed down by regret, this message is for you. God's grace meets us not at the end of our story, but right in the middle of our failure.

Yield not to temptation, but hold fast to God's unchanging hand! Temptation is sent to destroy your peace, rob your joy, and to disrupt your faith. It presents itself as gold but quickly turns into to dust. It appeals to the eye yet steals from your life. Stand on God's word, resist the enemy and he will flee, and pray for strength to ignore the tempting urges. For while it may feel good and look good on the surface, it won't last long and leaves unwarranted pain wherever it is welcomed.

When we face uncertainty, when life gets hard, when things happen that we can’t explain, we’ll often ask: Where is God? But every Christian should realize they are never alone. Jesus is with you. Pastor Greg Laurie shares more in this message. Notes: Focus verse - Genesis 22 Matthew 28:20 (NKJV)“Lo, I am with you always, even to the end of the age." Psalm 23:4 (NKJV)“Yea, though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death,I will fear no evil; For You are with me;Your rod and Your staff, they comfort me.” Sometimes our feelings need to catch up with our faith. #1 Joseph was in a prison cell. He probably felt all alone and abandoned. He was there, not because he broke a law, but because he kept one—God’s law. God was in the prison cell with Joseph. Genesis 50:20 (NKJV)"You meant it for evil; but God meant it for good—to save many people alive.” #2 Let’s go from a prison to a palace and think of Esther. Queen Vashti, to her credit, refused. She would not be humiliated or objectified, not even by the king. Vashti is a role model for young girls and women today.Don’t ever let some guy reduce you to a mere object. You are a woman made in the image God. If you present yourself cheaply, don’t expect to be valued royally. A man needs to value you for who you are on the inside, not only the outside. The most attractive thing is to be a godly and principled woman. Through the providence of God, Esther became the queen of Persia. God is always at work in the life of the believer, every hour of every day. God is now here! Providence comes from the Latin prōvidentia; “pro” meaning "before" or "ahead of time” and “videntia” meaning “to see.” God is in control. #3 The story of Israel at the Red Sea.They were between a rock and a hard place. Exodus 14:13–14 (NLT) Exodus 14:13–14 (NLT) Colossians 1:16–17 Exodus 14:19 A Christophany is an appearance of Jesus in the Old Testament. John 8:56–58 (NKJV)"Your father Abraham rejoiced to see My day, and he saw it and was glad." John 8:56–58 (NKJV)Then the Jews said to Him, "You are not yet fifty years old, and have You seen Abraham?" John 8:56–58 (NKJV)Jesus said to them, "Most assuredly, I say to you, before Abraham was, I AM!" Luke 24:27 The disciples on the Emmaus Road were literally listening to God incarnate describe His Old Testament appearances. Jesus didn’t begin in Bethlehem; He has always been. The story of redemption started a long time ago in a garden. The Christmas story begins with a tree: the Tree of the Knowledge of Good and Evil. Adam and Eve sinned and lost that sweet fellowship with God. Genesis 3:8 (NLT)“When the cool evening breezes were blowing, the man and his wife heard the LORD God walking about in the garden.” We can never escape the presence of God. When you walk with God, it is a source of comfort. 1 John 1:9 (NKJV)“If we confess our sins, He is faithful and just to forgive us.” James 1:14–15 (NLT)“Temptation comes from our own desires, which entice us and drag us away.These desires give birth to sinful actions. And when sin is allowed to grow,it gives birth to death.” The Bible says, “Christ was slain from the foundation of the world.” Genesis 3:15 Pharaoh tried to exterminate the Jews starting with the Hebrew baby boys. Wicked Haman tried to have the Jews wiped off the face of the earth. King Herod hearing that one was born, “King of the Jews,”tried to kill Jesus, but that too failed. Nothing would stop Messiah from coming.Nothing will stop Christ from coming again either. #4 The story of Abraham and Isaac on Mount Moriah. Read Genesis 22 The two of them went together.Genesis 22:8 That is exactly what happened when Jesus went to the cross for us. This gives a glimpse of Calvary from the Father’s perspective, sacrificing His Son, His only Son. Genesis 22:11 Christ died in our place and absorbed the wrath of God. --- Learn more about Greg Laurie and Harvest Ministries at harvest.org.

TEMPTATION & EVIL. Pastor Robb Schmidgall continues our "As It Is in Heaven" series. Key scripture: Matthew 6.13. Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company. See https://pcm.adswizz.com for information about our collection and use of personal data for advertising.

Because Jesus resisted temptation, you can too.Temptation isn't a religious thing; it's a human thing. Every human being recognizes that there are things they are tempted by. But what's the solution? In Matthew 4:1-11, Jesus himself is tempted, yet he fully resists. In this sermon, we explore the fact that because Jesus resisted temptation, you can too.Series Description: Jesus is the hero of all of Scripture, the center of the biblical story, and the most important figure in history. The Gospel of Matthew gives us a firsthand look at the life and teachings of Jesus. It stands as a “bridge” between the Old and New Testaments, grounding us in the rich story of Israel while revealing the in-breaking reality of the kingdom of heaven. Through this preaching series, we seek to help people encounter the gospel of the kingdom and embody it as flourishing disciples who live under the gracious rule of God.

Series: RootedWeek 5 Title: There Is an Enemy!Scripture: Ephesians 6:10–20Big Idea: There is a real enemy who opposes God and His people—but Christ has already won the victory. We don't fight for victory; we fight from it.I. The Reality of the EnemyEvil isn't just human—it's spiritual. There is an unseen realm of darkness opposing God's Kingdom.Satan is not a myth or symbol—he is a fallen angel who rebelled against God and now seeks to steal, kill, and destroy (John 10:10).The devil's greatest trick is convincing the world he doesn't exist.Everything God creates, Satan counterfeits.II. The Enemy's Strategy1. Temptation to SinSatan entices believers to gratify the flesh outside of God's will.Sin becomes a stronghold when it moves from struggle to pattern.2 Corinthians 10:3–5 — take every thought captive.We defeat temptation by walking in the Spirit (Galatians 5:16–17).2. Accusation and LiesThe enemy is “the father of lies” (John 8:44).He twists God's Word and distorts truth to produce shame and confusion.Agreements with lies (“I am unworthy,” “God doesn't care”) must be broken by declaring God's truth.Romans 8:1 — no condemnation for those in Christ.3. Persecution and SufferingThe spirit of darkness opposes the Spirit in you.Believers worldwide face hatred and persecution (Matthew 10:22–23).Trials refine faith and earn eternal reward (James 1:12).III. The Path to VictoryVictory begins with salvation: transferred from the kingdom of darkness into the Kingdom of God's Son (Colossians 1:13).Put on the full armor of God (Ephesians 6:13–17):Belt of truth – stand against lies.Breastplate of righteousness – guard your heart.Shoes of peace – stay grounded in the gospel.Shield of faith – extinguish doubt and fear.Helmet of salvation – protect your mind with assurance.Sword of the Spirit – strike back with the Word of God.We are protected and empowered to stand firm.The fight is not ours—it's God's.IV. Christ's TriumphColossians 2:15 — Jesus disarmed the rulers and authorities, making a public spectacle of them by the cross.The cross was not His defeat—it was His victory parade.Satan and shame are already conquered.We march in triumph behind our King.

Pastor Dru Rodriguez encourages us to invite Jesus into our doubts, suffering, and temptations, reminding us that He understands because He has suffered and was tempted Himself. He urges setting aside time to talk out loud to Jesus and expect Him to respond in everyday moments.

Episode 107: "Persons who refuse to go out at night in search for the Beloved and to divest and mortify their will, but rather seek the Beloved in their own bed and comfort . . . will not succeed in finding him. . . . she found him when she departed in darkness with longings of love." – St. John of the Cross (The Dark Night, Book 2, Ch. 24, 4)---In this episode, author and host Julia Monnin shares with listeners a talk she gave to priests and seminarians in May of 2025 as Session 1 in a 4-Part Series on St. John of the Cross. In this talk, Julia gives an introduction to John and an overview of his collected works. Before tuning in, Julia recommends listeners get a copy of The Collected Works of St. John of the Cross as well as Temptation and Discernment by Segundo Galilea. She also suggests listeners consider getting a copy of St. Teresa's The Prayer of Recollection and The Prayer of Loving Attention: Saint John of the Cross. These books and brochures are published by ICS Publications. Lastly, Julia suggests printing out the Packet with the syllabus for this series as well as the Evaluation of Prayer by Effects document.

What if the ideas blurring your faith are older than you think—and far sneakier? We trace the enduring pull of Gnosticism, the age‑old promise that secret knowledge can lift you above ordinary life, and we measure it against the clarity of Scripture. Colossians 1 stands like a lighthouse in the fog, naming Jesus as the visible image of the invisible God, the creator who holds all things together and reconciles heaven and earth. That vision doesn't invite escape from the material world; it dignifies bodies, limits, and place as the arena where grace takes root.From there, we walk into Matthew 11 and hear Jesus thank the Father for revealing truth to the childlike. The invitation lands with force: come to me, all who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest. We talk about why spiritual elitism feels tempting, how “Theobro” culture shows up in classrooms and pews, and why the gospel refuses to be paywalled by expertise or mystical technique. Evangelism, we argue, is not passing a doctrine exam; it's telling the truth about where Jesus found you and how his gentle yoke fits the real weight you carry.We also name the opposite ditch: chasing private spiritual highs and calling them truth. Experiences can be gifts, but they are not the measure of reality. Scripture, community, and the slow fruit of transformation—forgiveness, costly love, steady faithfulness—keep us grounded. With “theology from the street, not the balcony” as our compass, we invite you to lay down the ladder of secret insight, step into honest relationship, and rest in a gospel that is wide open to the weary.

Ryan wrestles with a piercing question sparked by Charlie Kirk's testimony: Are we actually called to purity—or is purity the assumed condition of a life on mission for Christ? Drawing from Kirk's own words about victory over pornography and Psalm 97:10, Ryan reframes purity not as an end in itself but as the necessary overflow of loving Jesus and pursuing His calling with focus.Topics DiscussedPurity vs. purpose: which is the calling and which is the conditionLessons from Charlie Kirk's testimony and focusThe danger of letting the “fight for purity” become a lifelong distractionPractical safeguards (accountability, tech tools) in their proper placePsalm 97:10 and hating evil as an expression of loving GodMoving from abstinence-mindset to satisfaction in ChristSimultaneously growing in purity while stepping into God's missionKey TakeawaysPurity is not the destination; it's the runway for a Spirit-led life on mission.A life that can “comfortably accommodate” impurity is misaligned with calling.Tools and accountability help, but transformation flows from loving Christ first.Get on mission now; don't postpone obedience until you feel “fully pure.”As love for Christ increases, purity increases—because there's more of you reserved for Him.Resources & LinksCharlie Kirk's original interview: ListenCovenant Eyes — accountability software for purityReady to download the Cord App?

In Luke chapter 4, we read of the Lord Jesus facing temptation in the wilderness. After forty days, He was hungry and attacked by Satan himself. Yet unlike us, Christ triumphed—refusing to abuse His power, refusing to tempt God, and refusing to bow to the wicked one. In this episode of Words of Grace, Pastor … Continue reading "The Temptation, from Luke Chapter 4"

Following the memorial for Charlie Kirk, the path ahead offers both temptation and salvation. Temptation lies in the obsession of content driven "truths" derived from internet theories, documents, video footage; it is a mind trap without closure and definitive resolution. Real truth lies in the many hearts seeking a relationship with Christ... God's truth and the truth of returning to Him. Ask questions, but don't become so obsessed with investigative narratives that Jesus falls to second place. Time to just be with Jesus, listen to the wisdom of Holy Spirit and be in the presence of God.  #BardsFM_Morning #WhatTruthAreWeSeeking? #IceCreamAndJesus Bards Nation Health Store: www.bardsnationhealth.com Morning Intro Music Provided by Brian Kahanek: www.briankahanek.com MYPillow promo code: BARDS Go to https://www.mypillow.com/bards and use the promo code BARDS or...

This podcast originally aired on Jan. 22, 2020, as a crossover episode between "The Glenn Beck Podcast" and "The Charlie Kirk Show."   Today's youth are not the lazy socialists they're seen as — and Charlie Kirk is proof. At just 26 years old, he's the founder and president of Turning Point USA, the fastest-growing youth organization in America. A fresh conservative voice acclaimed by President Trump, he and TPUSA promote the principles of freedom, free markets, and limited government on over 1,500 campuses nationwide. Glenn Beck and Charlie sit down for a crossover interview covering the biggest questions in conservatism: Should the Right support bans? Are we still “one nation under God?” And can freedom still accomplish miracles? The Declaration said it best: “All men are created equal.” But we must be free to fail, free to progress, and free to succeed. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices
