Sunday we discussed how the root and nature of temptation is to question our true identity. We are children of God and joint-heirs with Christ, but when tempting, that identity is challenged. As is argued in the sermon below, our father moves from God - the Creator and Lord - to the belief that I am god and I am an animal.

Ruth: Where Providence and Grace Kiss Sermon Series
In the weeks following Easter 2012, we studied the wonderful short Old Testament book Ruth. As we discovered, it is a great narrative about God's grace and His providence. I trust that it was enjoyable as I know God challenged me, exhorted me, encouraged me, and I learned a lot. Here are all of the sermons, blog posts, articles, etc. on the book. Everything is free and the sermon links include both audio and notes.

July 8, 2012 | 1 John 2:15-17 - Gone Fishing: The Bait & Hook Strategy of Temptation
Sunday morning we continued our study of the temptation with special emphasis on the temptation of Jesus. Last week we made the point that we must make war against sin. This past Sunday, we saw how the flesh, the world, and the devil wages this war; through the lust of the eyes, the lust of the flesh, and the pride of life.
Let's make war!
15 Do not love the world nor the things in the world. If anyone loves the world, the love of the Father is not in him. 16 For all that is in the world, the lust of the flesh and the lust of the eyes and the boastful pride of life, is not from the Father, but is from the world. 17 The world is passing away, and also its lusts; but the one who does the will of God lives forever.

Brad Stine on Fishing and Fishermen
I might go in this direction in Sunday's sermon for the introduction. Pay attention to the part about the pancakes.

Trip Lee "War" (lyrics)
Here is another taste of next Sunday's sermon. And yes, its another rap song, but the lyrics are included in the video and below. Pay particular attention to the third verse.
This is war
Like you ain't seen
This winter's long
It's cold and mean
When life and death go to battle, ain't no tellin' what'll happen
When life and death go to battle, ain't no tellin' what'll happen
When life and death go to battle, ain't no tellin' what'll happen
It's war tonight, it's death and life
This the kind of war you ain't never seen ever
Soldiers gettin' ragged, homie, heads gettin' severed
Death toll's crazy like nothin' on record
Civilians ain't safe, man, the troops might get ya
Can't run or hide, 'cause them guys gon' catch ya
They never get tired, never let up
They're fired up, wired up, to put you on a stretcher
But is the good side tough enough? You bet yah
Yeah you got bad guys, you know they a problem
Tryna overthrow the King, yep that's what we call Him
No life fulla dark knights, no Gotham
This ain't fake death, no possum, can't anybody stop 'em?
Tombstones everywhere, dead bodies rottin'
Big glocks poppin', bodies still droppin'
But I ain't gon' cry though, 'cause Death'll get swallowed
The Father sent His Son and the troops gon' follow
This is war
Like you ain't seen
This winter's long
It's cold and mean
When life and death go to battle, ain't no tellin' what'll happen
When life and death go to battle, ain't no tellin' what'll happen
When life and death go to battle, ain't no tellin' what'll happen
It's war tonight, it's death and life
The Son came down to the wasteland we in
A death-filled mess, He'll win, no leavin'
No rest til Death's killed, the fight ain't even
And death won't be left still breathin' (get'm)
The Son's on the frontline crossin' their borders
Invadin' enemy land, but they can't thwart Him
A good troop will graze him, and they ain't even force him
But God use that sin to support Him
They capture the King, next thing they shots rang out
General is down, the troops are like "We out"
The life-giver dies, and the other side celebrates
But they ain't know that hell is fate, the devil faced
They never say, if he's the beast who's the featherweight
Just when they thought they took Him down, He would elevate
Death can never take pride in that blow
'Cause the King beat death when He died and He rose
This is war
Like you ain't seen
This winter's long
It's cold and mean
When life and death go to battle, ain't no tellin' what'll happen
When life and death go to battle, ain't no tellin' what'll happen
When life and death go to battle, ain't no tellin' what'll happen
It's war tonight, it's death and life
It really might seem like the war's still goin'
People still dyin', sin is still potent
The devil's still temptin', and evil ain't slowin'
Just wait until that trumpet gets blowin'
The general is comin' with keys in His hands
The death and Hades they'll freeze where they stand
To see they've been defeated, please understand
If they don't wanna see Him, bro the King is the man
He's the man of war, a beast on the battlefield
Obliteratin' all the evil forces that are killed
What you seen, death? Oh you don't got it, bro
Where's your victory? Oh you've been swallowed whole
And when He's back ain't no fightin' Jehovah
He'll toss you in a lake of burnin' fire and sulphur
He's a titan, a soldier
He'll wipe away our tears, and our fears, and all our pain and death will be over
This is war
On sin and death
The dark will take
It's final breath
When life and death go to battle, ain't no tellin' what'll happen
When life and death go to battle, ain't no tellin' what'll happen
When life and death go to battle, ain't no tellin' what'll happen
It's war tonight, it's death and life

July 1, 2012 | Mark 1:1-15 - Make War: The Great Cosmic War & the Warrior Whose Already Won It - Part 1
Sunday we began a new series called The Tempter and the Tempted: Overcoming Temptation With the Gospel of Christ The Tempter and the Tempted: Overcoming Temptation With the Gospel of Christ. We begin with a two part sermon looking at the greater cosmic war that surrounds us. We are at war and it is time that we, like our Savior, invade enemy territory and fight. Fight against temptation, fight against sin, fight against the flesh, fight against the world, and fight against the devil.
Make War!!
