Recap of the sermon from February 17, 2008:
Rick Warren in his book, The Purpose-Driven Life, suggests the following steps in overcoming temptation:
-refuse to be intimidated, all are tempted (1 Corinthians 10:13)
-recognize your pattern of temptation and be prepared for it (when, where, in what situations, and who are you with when you are tempted?)
-request God’s help (Hebrews 4:15,16)
-re-focus your attention on something else (Philippians 4:8)
-reveal your struggle to a godly friend or group (Ecclesiastes 4:11.12)
-resist the devil (1 Peter 5:8; James 4:7)
-realize your vulnerability (1 Corinthians 10:1-12, especially 12)
