Tempted but Not Defeated: How to Overcome Sin Before It Controls You | Stephen Prado

In this powerful and deeply practical sermon, Stephen Prado addresses one of the most misunderstood struggles in the Christian life—temptation. Being tempted is not a sin; it is part of being human. But how you respond to temptation determines whether it becomes sin or victory. Teaching from Romans 7, James 1, 1 John 2, and the life of Joseph, this message reveals how temptation targets personal weaknesses and operates through subtle deception. God tests us to help us pass, but temptation is meant to make us fall. The good news is that God always provides a way out. Through recognizing temptation, resisting the enemy, and running from sin, believers can overcome by the grace of Jesus Christ. You are not a slave—you are a victor in Christ. #StephenPrado #OvercomingTemptation #VictoryOverSin #FaithInAction #ChristianLiving
