When You Pray Session 9

Jesus taught us to pray that we would not be led into temptation, but rather, delivered from evil. What evil is He speaking of? Why is temptation so dangerous to our spiritual lives and what deliverance from it does Christ offer? Join us for session nine as we examine not only God's power to deliver us from temptation, but also the role we play in gaining victory over sin in our lives.
