Sermon Outline
Date:December 7, 2025
Text: Genesis 39
Synopsis: This sermon explores the story of Joseph in Genesis 39 and the daily battle every Christian faces with temptation. Holiness is the calling of every believer. God has saved us by grace, but He has also saved us for a life that reflects His character. Joseph’s encounter with Potiphar’s wife reveals how temptation works, how it pursues us, and how God provides strength to resist it. Temptation comes from many places: from others, from the Devil, and from the corruption still present in our own hearts. It is always crafty, arriving when we are tired, isolated, or vulnerable. And temptation is always deceptive, offering a counterfeit version of what our hearts long for while hiding the true cost of sin. Joseph shows us the necessity of fleeing temptation, but more importantly, Scripture reminds us that the Lord was with Joseph. Victory over temptation is found in daily nearness to God.
