Cross Church

Summary
Paul writes that no temptation is unique to us, God is faithful to provide a way of escape, and believers can win the fight against sin through faith and complete surrender to Christ. The pastor emphasizes that victory requires both believing we can overcome and committing fully to Jesus, not isolation or shame.
Highlights
Sin thrives in isolation. It thrives in isolation. Sin thrives in the darkness and the lie of Satan always leads us towards isolation and it always leads us towards darkness.
Part of overcoming bondage to sin is believing that you can overcome bondage to sin. Part of the victory, part of overcoming sin is believing that I can overcome sin.
Unless you're ready for an everyday battle, unless you're ready to sell out to Jesus completely, this Christian life thing is gonna be a struggle.
