Don't Let It Taint You (Part 2: Trials & Temptations)

In “Don’t Let It Taint You” (Part 2: Trials & Temptations), Pastor Battle explored Jesus’ time in the wilderness to remind us that trials are not meant to break us but to prepare us. He emphasized the importance of sacrifice, showing how Jesus was led by the Spirit into the wilderness, demonstrating that obedience often requires discomfort and surrender. He then highlighted the purpose of trials, explaining that testing refines our faith, strengthens our endurance, and equips us for greater purpose. Finally, he challenged the congregation to proclaim the Good News, just as Jesus emerged from the wilderness ready to preach the gospel. Pastor Battle encouraged us not to let trials, temptations, or hardships taint our faith but to trust that God is using them for transformation and testimony.
