    This message examines the significance of Jesus’ temptations.

    Contrary to the message of many popular television preachers, the Bible does not promise health and prosperity. What we are promised is that we are engaged in a spiritual battle. Perhaps it would be better stated this way; we are involved in an all out war. Satan our archenemy is actively involved ...read more

    One of the most difficult things for a Christian is to resist temptation. Satan brings temptations to us and tries to make it easy and logical for us to fulfill legitimate needs. Jesus shows us just how crafty he is, and how to resist.

Wouldn’t it be great if every day was like the baptism of Jesus—with the Spirit of God descending like a dove on us and God telling us He is pleased with ...read more

    Matthew 4 shows how Jesus faced temptation, called disciples and entered his ministry. This lesson focuses on the meaning of Jesus’ temptation for us.

    In Matthew 4 we see that Jesus is the master, the mentor, and the minister sent from God. Right after Jesus was baptized he was led into the wilderness to be tempted by the Devil. This is a disturbing turn of events for anyone who thinks that becoming a Christian, being baptized into Christ, will ...read more
