Tempted!

In this powerful message, we're challenged to confront the reality of temptation in our lives. Drawing from James 1 and the story of David and Bathsheba in 2 Samuel, we're reminded that sin often starts small but can grow into something devastating if nurtured. The imagery of sin as a plant that we water and tend to is particularly striking. We're encouraged to recognize that temptation is often strongest when we're not where we should be, both physically and spiritually. The message emphasizes personal responsibility in dealing with sin, urging us to make it right with God and others. It's a call to vigilance, reminding us that while temptation never fully disappears, we have the power through God to resist and overcome it. This teaching invites us to examine our own lives, identify areas where we might be nurturing sin, and take decisive action to starve those temptations before they take root.
