Temptation – Series 1-10

Temptation: The Bait, the Hook, and the Way of Escape is a complete ten-part KJV Bible study examining how temptation begins, how it develops, why the flesh responds to it, how Satan and the world exploit human desire, and how God provides victory before temptation becomes sin. Beginning with James 1:13–15, the series traces the biblical progression from lust and enticement to consent, conception, outward sin, repeated surrender, bondage, consequences, and death. It distinguishes temptation itself from sin, explains the critical moment when the will agrees with desire, and examines major biblical examples including Eve, Achan, David, Samson, Joseph, Judas, and Jesus Christ in the wilderness. The study also explores the lust of the flesh, the lust of the eyes, the pride of life, the danger of making provision for the flesh, the effects of habitual sin upon the conscience and testimony, divine chastening without denying eternal security, and the practical necessity of separation, fleeing, prayer, watchfulness, Scripture, and walking in the Spirit. The final studies center on 1 Corinthians 10:13 and God’s faithfulness in providing a way of escape. By the end of the series, readers will understand the anatomy of temptation from its first inward pull to its final consequences, recognize the recurring methods of the tempter, and see the biblical weapons God has provided for resisting, fleeing, and overcoming temptation.
