Welcome!!!

Hi everyone!

Welcome to EFC East Valley's HS blog. We are glad that you have found our site. We will try to update this as much as possible to update you on the happenings of our HS fellowship. Anyway, here is our mission statement for our group:

EV High School Fellowship exists to build a strong community of believers who are growing in their faith through the teaching of Scripture to equip and train them to reach out to their friends and community around them who do not yet have a relationship with Jesus and glorify God in all that they are.

Our key verse comes from Matthew 22:36-40: "Teacher, which is the greatest commandment in the Law? "Jesus replied: "'Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind.' This is the first and greatest commandment. And the second is like it: 'Love your neighbor as yourself.' All the Law and the Prophets hand on these two commandments."

We hope that you will continue to drop by our blog and come join us on Fridays and Sundays!

understanding temptation

this past sunday, we continued our study through james as we looked at verses 13-18 of chapter one. in the passage, we saw that temptation is something that isn't from God. He is not the one that tempts us, but it is our sinful nature that pulls us towards sin. ever since adam and eve ate the fruit in the garden of eden, we have this propensity to do what our flesh desires. we are selfish and obeying God isn't something that comes naturally to us. however, as christians, we have the Holy Spirit that lives within us and we do have the power to overcome temptation. when temptation arises, we have the choice to follow our flesh or to follow the Spirit.

during this week, we will all face various temptations. i pray that we would heed the Holy Spirit and choose to live the godly lives that He wants us to live. remember that God lives in you and that you have the power, through the Holy Spirit, to overcome temptation!
