When Temptation Knocks

ScriptureLinks
About this episode
Temptation is something every believer faces, but Scripture shows us two very different responses. In this episode, we look at the lives of Joseph and David—one who fled temptation and one who gave in to it.

Joseph ran from sin and later found himself elevated to authority. David lingered in temptation and experienced painful consequences that rippled through his life.

Through these powerful biblical accounts, we explore what temptation looks like, why lingering is dangerous, and how God calls us to respond. The Bible doesn’t just warn us about temptation—it tells us exactly what to do when it comes: flee.

Join us as we examine how obedience, humility, and decisive action protect our hearts and keep us walking in righteousness.

Scriptures:
Genesis 39:1–12, Genesis 41:40, 2 Samuel 11:1–16, 2 Samuel 12:14, 2 Timothy 2:22
