    Temptations may be bold, or subtle. Temptations may be good things to stand in the way of Devotion Temptations are for one purpose to destroy us

    Lies In Disguise—Battling Temptation Matthew 4:1-4:8 I think that we all understand what temptation is. There is a story told about a little boy in a grocery store that I think illustrates the nature of temptation. The boy was standing near an open box of peanut butter cookies. “Now then, ...read more

    A sermon for a Covenant Servie based on the baptism of Jesus

    The gospel reading for today is the baptism of Jesus. We are only given a brief account of what happened in the passage we heard from Matthew’s gospel so we have to try to imagine the scene. I doubt though if it even began to approach the woman in Liverpool who arrived on the doorstep of a vicar, ...read more

    Many times when we talk about our Baptisms we talk about the stories of our own Baptism and not the Baptism that started it all, not the story that started it all. The Gospel and the 2nd reading for this Sunday (Acts 10) both point to the over arching sto

    Why would the son of God be baptized? I was told that it was an example. But there has to be more to it than this. And there is.

    This is the season in the church year of Epiphany, which means coming in the flesh. It is the season where the scriptures focus on the life of Jesus starting with the beginning of his ministry when Jesus was baptized. So we are going to look at the passage where Jesus got dunked. The scriptures ...read more

    Triumphant In Temptation

    Temptation is as old as mankind, seen first in the Prototype in the Garden of Eden when the First Adam fell, but the Second Adam was Triumphant in the Wilderness from which we can be forearmed to meet Satan’s temptations.

    Why does God allow temptation? That, together with the origin of evil, are great mysteries and they’re closely related. The Bible gives us no explanation as to the ultimate origin of evil but is undoubtedly connected with the devil. When we open the pages of Scripture he already existed. The ...read more

    The Baptism of Jesus and his calling provides a model for responding to our calling through our baptism.

    And a voice from heaven said, ‘This is my Son, the Beloved, with whom I am well pleased.’ – v .17 ‘Whoever has two coats must share with anyone who has none; and whoever has food must do likewise.’ (Lk. 3:11). The story of Jesus’ baptism raises questions meaningful to my own baptism: • "What ...read more

    This is a sermon that focuses on how we are all a part of the family of God... despite our denomination.

    Matthew 3:13-17 Then Jesus came from Galilee to the Jordan to be baptized by John. But John tried to deter him, saying, “I need to be baptized by you, and do you come to me?” Jesus replied, “Let it be so now; it is proper for us to do this to fulfill all righteousness.” Then John consented.

    The Spirit gives us all the gifts we uniquely need to share our faith.

    Introduction: In his commentary, Matthew for Everyone, Tom Wright uses an excellent analogy to explain the baptism of Jesus. He writes: Imagine we are going to a huge concert hall, packed to the doors with eager and excited music-lovers. We all have our programs in hand, waiting for the ...read more

    Jesus was tempted in three areas, as we are – Lust of the flesh (our body), lust of the eyes (our mind), pride of life (our soul). (1 John 2:16). He faced up to these temptations by knowing the scriptures. If we know our Bible, we can face up to the tempt

    What Jesus does in the desert puts right the wrong that was done in the garden. Satan had been waiting for this as he watched Jesus grow day by day. Jesus restored the beauty and perfection that was the Garden of Eden while in the desolation of the desert

    A Snake in the Sand The greatest battle between a man and Satan is the one recorded here concerning Jesus temptation in the desert.

    When assaulted by Satan, Jesus refuted him with the Word of God. He knows, believes and applies the Word. "It is written" is very important. Can we say that today?

    There is a war going on in the wilderness. • Satan is out to tempt Jesus and stop him from doing God’s will. • Jesus defends himself with the only weapon He has – God’s Word. • Three times He responded, “It is written.” Satan is out to deceive, to lure man into doing things contrary to God’s ...read more
