Sessions
1. Overcoming Temptation (Part 1)
In this first session, Dr. S. Brick Cliff lays a biblical foundation for overcoming temptation as an essential part of Christian living. Drawing from James 1 and other key passages, he explains how temptation operates, how the enemy manipulates desire, and why believers must be equipped to resist. Students will learn that victory begins with understanding the spiritual battle and responding with truth, not shame or fear. This lesson exposes common misconceptions and introduces the tools God provides for daily spiritual strength.
2. Overcoming Temptation (Part 2)
Building on the previous session, this teaching focuses on the practical steps required for victorious Christian living in the face of ongoing temptation. Dr. Cliff discusses how accountability, Scripture, prayer, and Spirit-led discipline work together to guard the believer’s heart and mind. He emphasizes that overcoming temptation is not a one-time event but a lifestyle marked by spiritual maturity. This session challenges students to stop settling for cycles of defeat and start walking in the daily victory made possible through Christ.
