The Bible says God won't allow us to be tempted beyond what we can bear (1 Corinthians 10:13). Sometimes that seems impossible—especially when temptation is so strong. Like you, Jesus has been there. He faced the most intense temptation anyone has ever known, but He never sinned. In this message, we’re learning how to resist temptation like Jesus.ABOUT THIS MESSAGEHave you ever been hurt by a friend? Jesus has. Maybe you feel like God isn't listening? Jesus knows what that’s like. No matter what you’re facing, Jesus understands because He’s Been There.NEXT STEPSHave you made a decision to follow Jesus?
