The Gospel's Greatest Hits: The Threefold Temptations

Pastor Christopher Coats

August 17, 2025

If we’re honest, some temptations feel harmless. A little compromise here, a small indulgence there. Nobody gets hurt… right?

But the Bible tells a different story. Temptation is never just about the moment; it’s about who you’re becoming. Every “just this once” shapes your heart, your habits, and your relationship with God. Sometimes the pull is so strong it feels impossible to resist- and sometimes we don’t even feel the need to resist.

Yet God’s Word says something radical: you are never trapped. No temptation is unique to you. No sin is unavoidable. No spiritual enemy is unbeatable.

This Sunday, we’ll study 1 Corinthians 10:13 and discover how to stand firm against the enticements of the world, the flesh, and the devil. We’ll see why following God’s way isn’t just possible, it’s the only path to a full and satisfying life. If temptation has been winning in your life, or if you’ve been tempted to think it doesn’t matter, this message is for you! And it’s for me, too.
