In this short sermon, the speaker likens the moment of temptation to an elevator that offers a brief escape to safety. He emphasizes that the decision to avoid sin must be made in a split second, before the ‘doors’ close. The speaker warns against hesitating or hoping to seek forgiveness later, arguing that the opportunity for escape may never return. The core message is a call for immediate, decisive action when faced with temptation, grounded in a belief that God provides a way out that must be seized without delay.

Chapters

This is the escape that God gives you when temptation comes. When temptation comes, there's that moment where you're still and you in your mind, you're determining, should I go back? Should I go forward? Should I do this? And it's a split-second decision. And if you don't have the mind of God constantly telling you, don't go back to your vomit, that split second is all that you have to remember there's an escape. But that escape is closing and closing and closing. But you know when people are escaping in the movies and then the elevator is closing and every single time they just slide through the elevator and find their way to safety. That's how it is when that temptation come. You just be staring at the elevator and you just watching it close. You're not even trying to make it. You're just like, I'd rather let the elevator close and deal with this and then ask for forgiveness later. But you don't know if that last time is the last time. What if that elevator don't, don't open ever again? So when I have a way of escape, you need to take it the first time.
