There is a platform we each step onto at the start of every day, which is called the platform of exposure to sin. Our memory verse this week says it all. Temptations are Always Stalking Us

1. UNDERSTANDING HOW TO
COUNSEL & DISCIPLE
PEOPLE USING THE
PLATFORM
OF EXPOSURE TO
THE TEMPTATION TO SIN
BC&D-15
The Biblical Dynamics of Change

2. TEMPTATIONS ARE
ALWAYS STALKING US
1 Corinthians 10:13

3. 1 Corinthians 10:13 (NKJV)
No temptation has overtaken you
except such as is common to man;
but God is faithful,
who will not allow you to be tempted
beyond what you are able,
but with the temptation will also
make the way of escape,
that you may be able to bear it.

4. THE SPIRITUAL LAW OF
SOWING & REAPING
Galatians 6:7-9

5. CONSEQUENCES IN
DAILY LIFE
Galatians 6:7-8; 1 Corinthians 4:5

6. NEGATIVE
CONSEQUENCES FOR
BELIEVERS
Galatians 5:19-21

7. NEGATIVE CONSEQUENCES BELIEVERS CAN FACE
• Wehave lost opportunities for service if we aren’t alert to
God’s leadings.
• We have a greater propensity to make the same bad
choice the next time we’re tempted after having yielded to a
particular sin.
• We run the risk of an early death. God's Word says if you
partake with un-confessed, unrepentant sins, God will judge
you and bring weakness and sickness into your life—and may
ultimately take you home to heaven in an untimely death.

8. POSITIVE
CONSEQUENCES
Matthew 6:19-21

CHOICES
Romans 6:16-23 & 1 Corinthians 3:10-15

ME. I OWN NO OTHER MASTER—MY HEART SHALL BE THY
THRONE: MY LIFE I GIVE, HENCEFORTH TO LIVE, O CHRIST, FOR
THEE ALONE.
