Presentation transcript:

Temptations in Preaching Preachers face temptations like anyone else, but they also face certain temptations with greater regularity than most. These “come with the territory” and include pride, envy, covetousness, the desire for popularity & power, and the inclination to fellowship brethren in error. An awareness and watchfulness concerning temptation is one of the best preventatives.

Temptations in Preaching Pride (1 Corinthians 3:1-7; 4:7; 2 Corinthians 2:15-16; 3:5) Envy (Philippians 1:15-16; 1 Cor. 3:3) Covetousness (2 Peter 2:14-16, 1-3; Titus 1:10-11; 1 Timothy 6:9-11; 2 Corinthians 2:14, 17; 12:14; 1 Thessalonians 2:4-5)

Temptations in Preaching False knowledge (1 Timothy 6:20-21) Popularity (1 Thessalonians 2:6; Proverbs 25:27; 2 Corinthians 10:17) Power (2 Timothy 4:1-5; Titus 2:15; 3 John 9-10; Philippians 2:1-4) Fellowship with erring brethren (1 Timothy 6:3-5; 5:22; Titus 3:10-11; Romans 16:17-18)

Preachers hold a sacred trust and they must strive to honor it. “He who loves his brother abides in the light, and there is no cause for stumbling in him.” (1 John 2:10) “But I discipline my body and bring it into subjection, lest, when I have preached to others, I myself should become disqualified.” (1 Corinthians 9:27)
