    A prayer from protection from tempation.

    A paradigm for its own struggle in an alien environment.

    THE DEVIL IN THE DESERT “You shall not put the Lord your God to the test,” Jesus replied to Satan from Deuteronomy 6:16: but the rest of the verse says, “as you tested [God] at Massah.” Massah means testing and Meribah means contention. Psalm 95:8 says, “Do not harden your hearts as you did ...read more

    Lucifer fights a spiritual war, and therein lies the real battlefield . . . the spiritual realm.

    Two Paths, Two Destinies Series

    Contributed by Paul Dayao on Aug 25, 2025
     | 423 views

    The Christian life demands that we endure God's tests to receive the crown of life, while simultaneously taking full responsibility for the internal temptations that, if unchecked, arise from our own desires and lead to spiritual death.

    Introduction: The Finish Line Many of us know the feeling of a great test. Perhaps it was a final exam in university that determined your grade for the entire semester. Maybe it was a major project or presentation at work, with your career on the line. Or maybe it was a physical challenge, like ...read more

    The Showdown In The Desert (Matthew 4:1-11)

    Contributed by Donald Whitchard on Nov 6, 2024
     | 2,604 views

    After being baptized in the Jordan river, Jesus was driven into the Judean wilderness by the Holy Spirit to face forty days of hunger, thirst, and a supernatural battle with His archenemy and ours, the devil.

    The Holy Spirit led Jesus into the wilderness of Judea, a barren, dry, and desolate area. It would be a place of severe testing where He would encounter the works and wiles of the devil, a real being whose aim was to try and tempt Jesus to abuse HIs power, lose His faith, or submit to the ...read more

    Maintaining Balance

    Contributed by Rodney V Johnson on Nov 28, 2020
     | 6,917 views

    In this message I use Satan's temptation of Jesus to demonstrate three key areas we need to be in balance in: physical needs, relationship with God and others, and power and riches.

    Maintaining Balance Scripture: Matthew 4:1-11; Philippians 4:11-13 The title of my message this morning is “Maintaining Balance.” Recently I completed a series titled the “Four Seasons of Life.” In that series I explained that we go through seasons as we shift closer to or away from Christ.

    The Veil of the Temple was torn in two as Jesus declared, "It is Finished." Through His provision, believers have access to the throne of grace, where Jesus ministers as our Great High Priest. He is our Mediator and Intercessor.

    Jesus – our Great High Priest Hebrews 4: 14-16 Life is constantly changing, a never ending series of “highs” and “lows.” At times we reach breath-taking mountaintops, where we enjoy the beauty of life and relax in the sunlight of God’s love. At other times we endure deep, lonesome valleys filled ...read more

    Peter denied Jesus as he was warming himself. How many of us have denied Christ while warming around a worldly fire?

    “Warming By the Fires of the World” Mark 14:53-54 And they led Jesus away to the high priest; and with him were assembled all the chief priests and the elders and the scribes. And Peter followed him afar off, even into the palace of the high priest and he sat with the servants and warmed himself ...read more

    Contributed by Kyle Gray on May 20, 2009
     | 5,345 views

    James tells us how to turn hatred into humility, judgment into justice and boasting into belief.

    There is a stark contrast in tone from chapter 3 to chapter 4 Chapter 3 (taming the tongue) closes with words like peace, gentleness, mercy, good fruits…it kind of ends on a good tone…but CH 4 contains words like fights, quarrels, lust, hate, envy, pride and sin. In CH 4 James gives clear advice on ...read more
