Lead Us Not Into Temptation

Editors Note: This got saved as a draft for some reason… Read on for the sermon from two weeks ago!

Pastor Whited continued his series on the Lord’s Prayer this past week, the 7th of 8 in the series. He looked at the last petition, “Lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil.” There’s some great stuff in there for battling temptation. Download the sermon outline and follow along!

Interested in going deeper with the sermon? Here are some questions to reflect on this week:

1. What temptations do I need to flee from?
2. What activities can I do that restore my soul?
3. Are there people I can talk and pray honestly with?

Let us know your joys and struggles in response to the questions above in the comments below.
