Sunday, May 22, 2016 with Pastor Toby Holland Hymns: "Come, thou Almighty King"; "Holy God, We Praise Your Name"; "Holy, Holy, Holy" Trinity Choir: "The Majesty and Glory of Your Name" Readings: Proverbs 8:1-4, 22-31; Romans 5:1-5; John 16:12-15 Don't forget about the Fiesta! from Noon - 3pm in Fellowship Hall!! There will be Mexican Food, a pinata, games, raffles, fun and fellowship! See you there~ "The woman was convinced. She saw that the tree was beautiful and its fruit looked delicious, and she wanted the wisdom it would give her. So she took some of the fruit and ate it. Then she gave some to her husband, who was with her, and he ate it, too." Genesis 3:6 All of Satan’s temptations follow the same pattern. First, Satan tests the faith of people and lures them away from God’s word. This leads them to commit sins against others. We can see from our own experience that Satan always works this way. When an idea first strikes us, we don’t think that we’re about to do something wrong. If we did, we might have second thoughts and consider the potential results. We would think about the harm and misery we would cause. We might even change the way we were thinking and acting. But such thoughts are usually kept hidden. So we go right ahead with our sinful action and abandon our faith. Eve picked the fruit from the tree. She was convinced that she would not die, even though God said that she would. She believed what Satan had told her. She thought that her eyes would be opened and that she would gain wisdom. After the devil’s poisonous words entered her ears, she reached out with their hand, took hold of the forbidden fruit, and tasted it with her mouth. Therefore, she sinned with every part of her body and soul. Still, she was not yet aware of the terrible sin she had committed. She cheerfully eight the fruit and brought some to her husband who also ate it. Lust, anger, and greed all work the same way. While sin is working, we don’t feel it. Sin doesn’t scare us. It doesn’t sting. Instead, it seems friendly, kind and cheerful. We often don’t feel guilty as were sinning. But later, when God’s law exposes sin, the consequences crush us.
