On the contrary: If your enemy is hungry, feed ...read more

    In the third temptation recorded by Matthew, Jesus was tempted toward idolatry and compromise.

    Worship God Only Matt. 4:10 INTRO.: the third temptation of Jesus recorded by Matthew involved an attempt by Satan to solicit the worship of Jesus.

    Choice And Testing

    Testing and temptation: Jesus’s encounter with the Devil was a shadow of the cross in the wilderness.

    We just heard the reading from Matthew 4. When Matthew wrote his book, he had no idea that there was going to be a chapter break right at that point of his book. So I suggest we take a look at a few verses before Matthew 4 to get a sense of Matthew’s thought pattern. At the end of Chapter 3, we ...read more

    How a gentle breeze of temptation can suddenly turn into a storm

    Acts 27:10-15. We find Paul speaking to the men in charge and speaking a warning. You know I believe Paul was speaking by unction of the Spirit and not just his opinion, but we find that the Centurion rejected his advice. He didn’t listen to the preacher.
