- www.truthforlife.org || By: Sinclair Ferguson - How can pastors help their congregations deal with the temptations that arise every day? Teaching from James 2, Sinclair Ferguson describes our experience when tempted and the defenses we have in the Gospel. Though it may occur in an instant, temptation follows a five-stage pattern: attraction, deception, preoccupation, conception and, finally, subjugation. Our best response is to slow down, focus on the character of God, especially his unfailing goodness to us, and remind ourselves that the new birth has given us a new identity in Christ.
I love this man! I am thankful to the Lord for His gift to the church
Wish every Christian leader would listen…maybe 10 times. Not only great exposition and theology but great psychology (applied sanctification).
Well preached! A man after God's own heart, as is Alistair Begg* (Blessed indeed)
A great teacher
Wonderful msg, so much food for thought. 🙏🏻
This is really blessed message from man of God. Pray that make my self accountable for the ministry of our Lord Jesus Christ.
A great and very important message, thank you.
I love the “Slow down” 👏👏
I slow things down by praying about everything now before acting on or making decisions , a lesson learned so late in life💪 however it still doesn’t cure from making wrong decisions when putting your trust in humans. Deception is real. I pray for Gods will not mine. Thank you Jesus all glory be to God Amen 🙏
God has given us duties to preserve us.
A wonderful message, so clearly told
We need to see through our ears.... WOW
Very thought provoking and true
Very good sermon.
"Slow everything down", that's what Dallas Willard says. (around 38:25)
Protection from Temptation: (1) 40:22 Become familiar with the temptation cycle. (2) 43:27 Become convinced of the unchanging goodness of God. (3) 49:18 Become aware of the significance of the new birth.
You can tell this isn't a Presbyterian church, all the chatter coming from the congregation. I'm not used to hearing Dr. Ferguson amongst the Baptists.
This is high teaching, yet so practical. I thank you, Sinclair Ferguson.
@@beckyhofer4328 He's a gifted preacher for sure. I play his sermons or lectures when I'm driving or when I'm getting ready for bed.
Temptation cycle; see also 1 Cor 10:13
There is nothing (!!) better than what God wants!
What do u do when the pastor can’t deal with temptation just so called repents yet continues preaching?? Is Christianity that easy?
Are you talking about falling to sin or just being tempted? And not all who preach are saved. He who does sin and falls relies on God's mercy and tries to not fall again
Then I'd have to question if this Pastor is actually saved. Keep in mind that we're all sinner's, and Adamic in nature. However, if Christ is in us, and we in Christ, we shall not fulfill the lust of the flesh. This particular Pastor you're referring too is deceived and is drawn away by his own desires and enticed. If he doesn't turn from his evil ways, there remains no salvation for those who deliberately sin.
(Hebrews 10:26)
Maybe gawd shouldn't have created Satan oops lmao,people still believe this nonsense, scary indeed.
We don't only believe it but live by it. It will change your life also. Jesus loves and died for you and can change your cynicism as well.
We not only believe it we live in and it's good for life to have meaning and purpose God has a plan for all of us and this life is just preliminary a test run a dim shadow of whats to come hope you can get on board we'd love to have you with us in Christs Kingdom he has land and a job for each of us we are all intricately designed and created buy a creator I pray that the Holy Spirit falls on you to renew your heart and mind so you can see the reasons for the hope we have in our Lord Jesus Christ 🙏
