So much of giving into temptation is the instant pleasure, but God has given us a way of escape in every season so we can walk in a life of true purpose and freedom.

Trials and temptations are all around us. That’s why the book of James warns us to play it out, to consider how temptation could lead to full-grown sin that devastates so that we can experience the good things God has promised us.

As Jesus prayed and fasted for 40 days in the wilderness prior to His public ministry, temptation was everywhere. Instead of finding a quick fix, Jesus fixed His gaze to God, continuously combatting the enemy’s lies with the truth of God’s Word.

In this special Mother’s Day message, we hear from Senior Pastor Kyle Idleman and author Eva Whittington-Self as Eva shares the story of overcoming personal tragedy with God's strength and a mother's love.

Often, we don’t know God is all we need until He is all we have. The currents will come, but they can lead to greater reliance. When we call for help from God and His people, we can find the strength to weather any currents that come our way.

In a world of currents, we catch our breath by being confident in God’s comfort as we remember what the resurrection means for our life.

The currents of life weigh us down and often inform our perspective of God. But Paul’s understanding of God informs his perspective of the currents, allowing him to see how his currents can become a comfort for others.

“Where, O death, is your victory? Where, O death, is your sting?” Crucified and laid in the tomb, on the third day, Jesus broke the grave. Now, our song is a song of victory through Him.

For seven days, each step of God’s people became a greater step of faith until He delivered Jericho into their hands as He promised. In God, we can find the strength to face whatever walls stand before us, experiencing a life of abundance.

God called His people to celebrate what He had just done after leading them across the Jordan. There is a strength and courage we can find when we look back to remind ourselves of the great things God has done, that He has given us the victory.
