    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.

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
