INTRO: When have you been the most tempted?

DESIGNED FOR LIFE AND LOVE
On what basis do you measure right and wrong?

DESIRE, TO SIN, TO DEATH
How can we lose our way when we treasure what God has made over treasuring Him?

GOD’S MIRACULOUS REDEMPTION
How has Jesus worked to redeem the unfaithful and the violent?

YOU CAN PRAY WITH US …

1. Worship the LORD that He is faithful and true as the Lord and Giver of life. Praise Him, Father, Son and Holy Spirit that He is our Husband and Protector, and that nothing is hidden from Him.

2. How have you sinned and lied to cover it up, thinking you can make up reality to fit your own will? Confess your pride and dishonesty to Jesus, asking Him to forgive you and to transform you to be a truly loyal bride to Him.

3. Give thanks to Jesus for harnessing the worst things about us to redeem us as our Savior. Thank Him that He was able to work even through betrayal and murder to atone for our sins and give us His righteousness.

4. Who do you know that rationalized their sins, particularly with sex or violence? Pray for them, asking the Lord to help them (as He has helped you), to transform their hearts to trust Him and love the truth.

5. Ask the Holy Spirit to bear in you His fruit of love and faithfulness. Thank Him that He is True and trustworthy and ask Him to grow His character in your heart and actions.

Looking Back
