    This is the second message about the temptation of Jesus in the wilderness dealing with the devil offering Jesus the kingdoms of the world if He fell down and worshiped the devil. The focus of the message is on the dangers of shortcuts.

    This message was inspired by a couple of sermons that I read here on Sermon Central. I do not remember who wrote those sermons, sorry! As is often the case with my sermons I did not write out the closing of this message. After reading the message the Holy Spirit should be able to give you an ...read more

    It’s not enough to rely on our saved status as Christians. We need to cooperate with the Holy Spirit in fleeing temptation, in battling temptation, in staying above reproach. We can learn from the mistakes of our ancestors, the ancient Israelites.

Today we follow up with a related passage from the Apostle Paul, encouraging us to stand strong against evil. Someone once wrote, “Learning from your own ...read more

    Jesus was led into the wilderness to be tempted. The Word is precise in stating that He was led by the Spirit. Why does the Spirit of God lead anyone to be tempted?

    “Then Jesus was led up by the Spirit into the wilderness to be tempted by the devil. And after fasting forty days and forty nights, he was hungry. And the tempter came and said to him, ‘If you are the Son of God, command these stones to become loaves of bread.’ But he answered, ‘It is written, ...read more
