Lead Us Not Into Temptation

Introduction:

Main Idea: God is a good and holy father who loves to answer prayers for protection and deliverance from sin and evil.

1. Lead us not into temptation
   • Does God really lead us into temptation?
     “Don’t carry me into…”
     • Circumstances in which I am too weak to obey
     • Sinful responses to the world, the flesh and devil
     • Temptations from calamities
   • Watch and Pray
2. Deliver us from evil
   Deliver=rescue
   • God as refuge and deliverer
   • The Holy Spirit as God’s answer
     • His indwelling presence and power
     • The Word of God
     • The Family of God—the local church

What temptations are you most susceptible to?

Where will you place a reminder to ask God to help deliver you out of them?

How will you prayerfully use the resources he has already given?
