It is from the fertile soils of success that temptation likes to grow

I. REALIZE THE SUBTLE SETUP OF SATAN IN TEMPTATION

        • IT COMES AND IT IS UNRELENTING

        • IT WAS SECRETIVE

        • IT WAS SUBTLE 

B. LOOK AT THE REJECTION v 8-9

        • THE CHARACTER OF JOSEPH 

        • THE PERSONAL CONVICTION OF JOSEPH  

II. RECOGNIZE THE REJECTION YOU FACE IN YOUR REJECTION OF TEMPTATION
