TIME OUT with Pastor Ben - 1 Corinthians 10:13

Morning family. Sorry, I'm late. This is a another timeout for this morning. My name is Benjamin Talley, I am the associate pastor at wooden Memorial Baptist Church. Our timeout today is from first Corinthians chapter 10 verse 13 it says No temptation has come upon you except what is common to man or a common to humanity.

God’s Faithfulness in Temptation

But God is faithful He will not allow you to be tempted beyond what you are able. But with the temptation he will also provide a way out. So that you may be able to hear bear it so. Hello Corrine. So it says that no temptation Has come upon you except what is common to humanity.

So the basically says that You know, no temptation you fake face is unique what what it means is that You Know nothing is new, you know, this is a temptation that every temptation or trial you face someone is faced before.

The word temptation means affliction or Adversity or trial. The word is a Greek word it means param. It's a perium remos. So This also means that God and the devil They're not playing tricks on you. They're not they're not attacking you.

So Wow Corrine you're from the Bahamas. Wow, good morning. Um, that is awesome. So Yeah, they're they're not attacking you God and the devil. They're not attacking you. They're not playing tricks on you.

This also means that God is faithful. It says that God is faithful. He will not allow you to be tempted beyond what you are able so God will give you a way out. That's the second. That's another thing that it says.

Says he will not tempted to be tempted. You will not be tempted beyond what you are able. But Look at what it says. It says. You know. It's a lot of people say well, yeah, he will tempt you beyond what you are able.

He will do that. Yes, he will. But look at what it says before it says in verse Verses 10 to 11. It says whoever thinks he must stand. Be careful that he might not fall. Because he needs to depend on Christ, you know, we need to be no Christ because he will give you more than when you what he What you can handle.

Because he wants you to depend on him. God knows where you're at. And he knows. He knows what you can handle but he wants you to depend on him. He wants you to be able to depend on him. So he will give you beyond what you are able.

But he will give you what you can handle. Only with him depending on him so. So some people think that you know stress and trouble Comes with trials. Yeah stress and trouble does come with trials. But you have a Redeemer with you your Redeemer is with you always he's always walking with you.

You're not alone so. That leads me to the next one. With temptation he provides a way out. With temptation he provides a way out. He's coaching you he's walking with you and then it says He will. He will provide a way out so that you are able to bear it so that you are able to bear it.

Christ’s Easy Yoke and the Burden He Lifts

Matthew 11 says come all who are weary and heavy laden and I will give you rest. Take up my yoke and learn from me because I am lowly and humble at heart and you will find rest for your souls. For my yoke is easy and my burden is light.

Why you are bearing a burden? It'll be a lot lighter than the than the Burden that you're carrying on your own. So will you have a burden? Yeah, but it'll be a lot lighter than the one you're carrying.

Walking Through Trials with the Lord

So to recap. You know, you will face trials. Tests and afflictions. But God is walking with you. He's he's walking with you. He's faithful. He's trustworthy. You will be able to handle it because he won't give you anything you can handle you can't handle with him by your side, so Always know that he's there walking with you.

He's there to encourage you and he will. He will be there encouraging and walking with you the whole time. A lot of the times God will be there teaching you and Encouraging the whole way and I'll give you a burden.

Yeah, the the weight of a trial is there sure. It's it's weighty, but it'll be a lot lighter than the burden you're. You'll be carrying on if you try to do it on your own. So be encouraged. God is there to help you through your trials.

God is there to encourage you along the way. Don't try to do it on your own. Don't try to take a trial on your own or Try to do things on your own without him. He's there for you to walk with you. So um.

It's a good day to be alive in Jesus, um, you know, it is. It is always encouraging to know that God's walking with us. God is encouraging you. God is an ever trip ever-present help in their time of trouble.

So I love you. God loves you, and it's a good day to be alive in Jesus.
