How To Handle Temptation
Adrian Rogers
Luke 4:1-18; 3:21-22
Would you open your Bibles tonight please for our Bible study to Luke chapter four. I want to speak to you tonight about how to handle temptation. Anybody here ever get tempted? Let me see your hand. Well, never mind. I know. Listen, folks, we are all tempted. Now, that temptation is common to man. We are going to see that. And what I am going to be talking with you about tonight is how to handle temptation.

Well, your going to find here the temptation of the Lord Jesus Christ. And your going to find out here where Satan came, and it cost the Lord Jesus Christ. And may I tell you that there was no evil in Jesus to personify. What I'm trying to say is, that we need to take the Bible at face value.

I mean dear folks, that most of us have failed if we would be honest. We have failed and do fail. And so everyone of us, it behooves everyone of us to say Lord God, open my heart, help me tonight. Teach me, if I can learn to be an overcomer rather than overcome. If I can learn to be a victor, rather than a victim. But not only is there an enemy to harm us, and there are not only is there a ...
