Orlando, Florida-- Promptly at 10:30 am the entire congregation of Pine Castle United Methodist Church stands for worship. After worshiping the church is seated for tithe. Soon after Pastor Blake Lorenz begins his sermon on temptation.

He instructs the people of the church to turn their bibles to the book of Genesis and explains how temptation was rooted from the beginning of Adam and Eve.

Pastor Lorenz preaches about the temptations that people face on a daily basis like when it comes to relationships, and finances. He goes on to talk about how the Christians of today face the pressures of “the world.”

Near the end of the service Jacob Swasson stood up to give his testimony relating to the sermon. He states that he gave into temptation one year ago, by cheating on his wife. As he looked on at the congregation, he said "I would give anything to gain the respect of my family again."

Pastor Lorenze explains that many people fall into this pitfall of deceit because "we our weak spiritually and shoud ourselves daily with the word of God."

The congregation says a prayer for the gentleman and Pastor Lorenz has an alter call. The pastor closes the sermon with a prayer and church ends at 12pm sharp.

Pastor Lorenz didn't stay for comments.
