When My Temptations Stretch Me
Most of us find ourselves being tempted on multiple occasions to do something we shouldn't. But many of us have that certain temptation, that certain habit or struggle, that is consistently a problem. We try not to give in; we try to stay strong. But we often find ourselves being pushed to the limit of our ability to say "no." What do I do when my temptations push me to my breaking point? How can I keep from breaking down and giving in to the struggles I should avoid?
Scripture References: John 10:10, Genesis 39:8-12, Romans 7:24-25, Ecclesiastes 4:9-10, Matthew 5:29-30, 1 Peter 5:8-9
From Series: "Breaking Point"
Many of us have experienced times in our lives when we felt overwhelmed, stretched to our limit, about to break. Busy schedules, financial burdens, relationship problems, faith struggles…or maybe a combination of these…can push us to our breaking point. For the next few weeks at Flagstone we’re going to look at different characters from scripture who didn’t think they could take it anymore, and we’re going to discover that, when we are at our breaking point, we can actually experience a breakthrough.

The Temptations That Creep in and Take Control
While there are some temptations we face in life that we see immediately and deal with quickly, there are other common struggles that often creep into our lives slowly. They don't seem very strong or dangerous, and we begin to allow these things to slowly take over our hearts and dictate our actions. We might even justify our choices or try to convince ourselves "it's not a big deal." Eventually these issues become big problems that impact our relationships, our families, even our faith. How do we recognize when we are slowly fading away from our values and our faith? And how do we stop the slow fade and reverse the impact it's having on our lives?
Scripture References: Genesis 19:1, Genesis 13:12-13, Hebrews 3:13, Proverbs 13:16, Job 31:1, 1 John 1:8, 2 Timothy 4:9-10
