Podcasts about Temptation

In today's sobering Bible study, Rick and Doc walk us through Proverbs 5:1–7, exposing the subtle, seductive dangers of sin cloaked in sweet speech. This isn't just a warning about immoral women—it's a powerful metaphor for any deceptive voice or influence that pulls us off the path of godly wisdom. The duo emphasizes three essential commands: attend to God's wisdom, turn your ear in humility, and seek His understanding. They explain how the "strange woman" symbolizes folly, foolishness, and worldly temptation—slick, smooth, and sweet like honey, but leading ultimately to death and hell.The lesson also unpacks the word “discretion”—a neutral Hebrew term used for both godly planning and devilish schemes—and challenges each of us to examine our hearts, speech, and influences. Are we preserving God's knowledge with our lips or being lured by seductive speech? Wisdom, clarity, and repentance are the way out—and the Father is urgently calling us to hear Him now.Rick Wiles, Doc Burkhart.

As we continue an examination of David's moral failure with Bathsheba this week, we saw first how prosperity can make us vulnerable to choices we would never entertain in any other season of life. Today we'll learn how David decided to toy with the temptation. Flirting with Satan's temptations is a risky, risky business. We're no match for Satan's cunning. Is there a choice in your life that has left you with scars? Are you someone who has been scarred by the bad choices of someone else? Remember, there is hope, because God can save you from the choice if you want him to. His redemption never fails.

In this powerful and sobering Monday message, the Morning Manna class explores Proverbs 4:14–19, a stern warning from Scripture to avoid even the first step toward sin. Rick and Doc unpack what it means to “enter not into the path of the wicked,” explaining how temptation is often personalized by Satan and how even curiosity toward evil opens doors to destruction.The discussion dives into the spiritual danger of “soul vampires”—those who intentionally drain others emotionally, spiritually, and mentally—and challenges believers to sever ties with such people. Yet amidst the darkness, a promise shines through: the path of the righteous is like a shining light, growing brighter until the perfect day.Rick Wiles, Doc Burkhart.

The Way to Escape Temptation

Continuing our series called Jesus: The One And Only, Pastor Adam teaches on dealing with temptation.

I. Doubt of God and His Word II. Doubt of God's Righteousness and Truth III. Doubt of God Justified IV. Remedies for Doubt and Temptation

Temptation will lure you into destruction if not dealt with. Learn how the enemy uses temptation to hinder your destiny and how to combat it.

Genesis 2:25-3:7

This sermon interprets Genesis 4, focusing on the story of Cain and Abel to illustrate human sin and God's mercy. It examines Eve's initial joy and high expectations for Cain, contrasting them with Abel's less celebrated birth. The speaker explains God's "regard" for Abel's offering was due to his heartfelt generosity and offering of "first and best," unlike Cain's resentful attitude. The sermon highlights Cain's subsequent anger as a "second temptation story" mirroring Adam and Eve's fall, emphasizing that unchecked anger and self-pity lead to greater sin, culminating in Abel's murder. Ultimately, the sermon serves as a cautionary tale about the destructive nature of sin and a call for confession, gratitude, and turning to God.Support the showThanks for listening!

2 Samuel 11 is about David's sin of adultery with Bathsheba and the murder of Uriah. The overall takeaway is to never underestimate the persuasive power of Satan's schemes. At the same time, never underestimate the power of God's grace. This is a message of hope. May it remind you of God's grace and redemption for all who seek it.

Jesus' Wilderness Trial: How to Defeat Every Temptation | The Valiant Podcast

In this episode of the Parsha Review Podcast, we explore the Torah portion Shalach, focusing on the story of the twelve spies sent to scout the land of Israel. Ten of the spies return with a negative report, causing despair among the Jewish people, which leads to the tragic establishment of Tisha B'Av, a day marked by historical calamities. In contrast, Joshua and Calev offer a positive perspective, highlighting the importance of faith in Hashem's promise. We delve into the mitzvah of Tzitzis (fringes on four-cornered garments), recited twice daily in the Shema, which serves as a visual reminder of all 613 commandments. He explains that Tzitzis, with their numerical value and structure (600 plus 8 strings and 5 knots), symbolize the entire Torah, encouraging spiritual mindfulness and adherence to God's laws, particularly for men, as the mitzvah is time-bound and not obligatory for women.We emphasize the power and danger of the eyes, which can lead to holiness or temptation, as cautioned in the verse urging not to stray after one's heart or eyes. We connect this to modern challenges, where technology and social media, designed to be addictive, can draw people away from their values. Drawing from personal anecdotes, such as a student wearing Tzitzis discreetly and his own experience in Jerusalem's marketplace, he warns against the spiritual risks of unchecked visual intake. We advocate for mental engagement with Torah to guard against boredom and temptation, citing the practices of tech CEOs who limit phone use for productivity. We conclude by urging listeners to control their eyes, create a personal sanctuary for Hashem, and recite the Shema daily as a reminder to stay focused on holiness, praying for divine protection and a blessed Shabbos._____________This episode (Ep 7.34) of the Parsha Review Podcast by Rabbi Aryeh Wolbe on Parshas Shelach is dedicated in honor of our Holy Soldiers in the Battlefield and our Torah Scholars in the Study Halls who are fighting for the safety of our nation!Download & Print the Parsha Review Notes:https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/1ncaRyoH5iJmGGoMZs9y82Hz2ofViVouv?usp=sharingRecorded at TORCH Meyerland in the Levin Family Studios (B) to a live audience on June 17, 2025, in Houston, Texas.Released as Podcast on June 19, 2025_____________DONATE to TORCH: Please consider supporting the podcasts by making a donation to help fund our Jewish outreach and educational efforts at https://www.torchweb.org/support.php.

Episode SummaryIn the final episode of the Mind War series on the Satisfied program, Ryan Swanson tackles a difficult but crucial topic: desire. Is the struggle in our thought life something we must simply manage forever, or does God offer more? With biblical clarity and pastoral empathy, Ryan shares the hope that victory isn't just about saying “no”—it's about saying “yes” to Jesus, and discovering the peace of a transformed mind.Topics DiscussedThe distinction between temptation and desireCan God change your desires?Testimonies of men battling addiction and cravingIsaiah 26:3 and the key to perfect peaceReframing the battle: it's not a yes/no choice, it's a multiple choiceDesire, availability, and isolation in thought life strugglesWhy saying “yes” to Christ is the only path to victoryWhat David teaches us about longing in Psalm 63Encouragement to fight the battle, but aim for peaceKey TakeawaysThe goal of spiritual warfare isn't just a good fight—it's peace.Saying “no” to sin is not enough; victory comes by saying “yes” to Christ.God may want to do more than help you resist sin—He may want to change what you desire.Perfect peace is possible, not when you try harder, but when your mind is stayed on Christ.Your journey is not just about fighting gratification but about learning to be satisfied in Jesus.Ready to download the Cord App?

Join us as we explore the vital trait of eagerness, alacrity, or "zerizut," and its impact on both spiritual and everyday life. We'll discuss how eagerness can propel us towards fulfilling mitzvahs and serving Hashem effectively, using examples like Moshe and Pinchas to highlight the importance of avoiding negative influences. We'll also examine the role of repentance, emphasizing the need for patience and caution in our actions to achieve true perfection. Striking a balance between quick action and careful consideration is key, as too much haste can lead to mishaps both spiritually and practically.In our conversation, we contrast the traits of eagerness and laziness, recognizing eagerness as a powerful tool for achieving great things efficiently, while understanding how laziness can sometimes be strategically employed to avoid undesirable actions. We discuss the importance of channeling our energies towards positive endeavors with urgency, allowing less important tasks to naturally fall by the wayside. We conclude with a heartfelt wish for divine blessings, encouraging listeners to prioritize and approach the right tasks with both speed and enthusiasm, ultimately using eagerness as a tool for success in all areas of life._____________This series on Orchos Tzadikim/Ways of the Righteous is produced in partnership with Hachzek.Join the revolution of daily Mussar study at hachzek.com.We are using the Treasure of Life edition of the Orchos Tzadikkim (Published by Feldheim)Recorded from a live audience presentation in the TORCH Centre - Levin Family Studios (B) in Houston, Texas on February 10, 2025.Released as Podcast on June 16, 2025_____________DONATE to TORCH: Please consider supporting the podcasts by making a donation to help fund our Jewish outreach and educational efforts at https://www.torchweb.org/support.php.

Wisdom isn't trendy. It's timeless. And it'll save your life.In a world loud with foolishness, Proverbs 2 reminds us: wisdom doesn't just show up — you have to seek it. You can't treat God's Word like a side dish and expect it to change your life. If you want direction, protection, and peace, wisdom has to become your pursuit.KEY TAKEAWAYS:— If you treat His Word casually, you'll treat others carelessly.You'll start calling dysfunction “normal” and rebellion “freedom.” What you tolerate will eventually dominate.— Wisdom requires quiet.Tune out the noise. Stop letting the sound of truth become foreign. Wisdom won't fight to be heard — but it will change everything if you'll listen.— Everybody serves something.Even the ones shouting “No kings” still follow a voice. But only one King leads to life — Jesus.— God gives wisdom — not culture.And when you seek it like treasure, He doesn't just teach you — He shields you. He covers those who walk with integrity.— Temptation isn't to delight you — it's designed to destroy you.The enemy wants you to laugh at what you should be weeping over. But wisdom guards you from crooked paths and twisted words.— Stay faithful. Stay grounded. Stay on the path.Because off the path? There's deception, destruction, and distraction.But on the path? There's clarity, protection, and peace.——#Proverbs2 #WalkInWisdom #FathersDay #JesusOverEverything #KingdomOverCulture #NexusChurch #StayOnThePath #ChooseWisdom

The book of Revelation predicts that there will be a crisis of worship in the last days. This week we will look at three critical worship-centered messages that must be shared with the world by a worship-centered people.

The Seasons of Life When We are Prone to Temptation

All Have Temptation, Which Is Not the Sin; But Jesus Followers Can Resist All Temptation Through Their Faith and Relationship with God MESSAGE SUMMARY: You will be tempted again and again, but the temptation itself is not the sin. The sin resides in your grabbing onto the temptation; dwelling on the temptation; and following through on the temptation. Jesus was tempted, and He {Jesus} always faced temptation by quoting scripture to the temptation source. As Jesus tells you about Temptation and sin in Matthew 18:7-8: “Woe to the world for temptations to sin! For it is necessary that temptations come, but woe to the one by whom the temptation comes! And if your hand or your foot causes you to sin, cut it off and throw it away. It is better for you to enter life crippled or lame than with two hands or two feet to be thrown into the eternal fire.". From James 1:13, we know that God does not create the temptation we face: “Let no one say when he is tempted, ‘I am being tempted by God,' for God cannot be tempted with evil, and he himself tempts no one.". Since all are tempted, it is great to know, from 1 Corinthians 10:13, that Jesus Followers will not be tempted beyond their capability to resist the temptation and act on it through sinning: “No temptation has overtaken you that is not common to man. God is faithful, and he will not let you be tempted beyond your ability, but with the temptation he will also provide the way of escape, that you may be able to endure it." You can follow Jesus' example by using scripture to deal with a temptation – there is scripture to deal with every temptation that you may face.     TODAY'S PRAYER: Lord, I come this day inviting you to cut those deeply entrenched chains that keep me from being faithful to my true self in Christ. In doing so, may my life be a blessing to many. In Jesus' name, amen.      Scazzero, Peter. Emotionally Healthy Spirituality Day by Day (p. 44). Zondervan. Kindle Edition. TODAY'S AFFIRMATION: Today, I affirm that because I am in Jesus Christ, I will not be ashamed of the Gospel. I will not be ashamed of the Gospel of Jesus Christ for it is the power of God for the salvation of everyone who believes (including me). From Romans 1:16 SCRIPTURE REFERENCE (ESV): Matthew 4:1-11; 1 Corinthians 10:13; Hebrews 4:14-16; Psalms143:1-12; James 1:13. A WORD FROM THE LORD WEBSITE: www.AWFTL.org.

What if the key to personal growth lies in recognizing and overcoming your habitual weaknesses? Join us for a thought-provoking episode of the Jewish Inspiration Podcast, where we shine a light on the journey of self-awareness and the universal challenge of self-control. Through engaging anecdotes and real-life examples, we illustrate how identifying personal tendencies toward certain habitual sins can lead to conscious choices that foster self-improvement. Whether it's as simple as setting boundaries with technology or choosing healthier social circles, we discuss practical steps that empower you to create barriers against temptations and take charge of your personal growth.As we embrace the urgency of seizing spiritual opportunities, this episode serves as a passionate call to action.
