In Genesis 39, we see Joseph faced with intense temptation. He is alone, far from home, and seemingly without consequences. Yet Joseph refuses to compromise. He resists the seduction of Potiphar’s wife, choosing to flee rather than fall. This sermon explores three biblical principles for resisting temptation: knowing God’s standard ahead of time, not flirting with sin, and being willing to flee when necessary. But even for those that have given into temptation, there is mercy at the cross of Christ.
If you want to avoid sin, then don’t flirt with it. Don’t keep it close. Because if you do, you’re setting yourself up for trouble.
