    This sermon explores overcoming temptations, utilizing the Holy Spirit's power, and our responsibility to proclaim Christ, as exemplified by Jesus in Luke 4:14-21.

    Following his baptism Jesus is led into the wilderness by the Holy Spirit and is tempted by Satan. His temptation helps him to focus on who he is and what he has been called to do.

    Matthew 4:1-17 “Focused” INTRODUCTION It is interesting to see how Hollywood has interpreted the temptation of Jesus. The truth is that we don’t know exactly what happened. No one was present with Jesus, in the wilderness, to record what actually took place. There were no ...read more

    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

    Why  did  God  make wilderness  places  anyway?  God also knew that the wilderness is  an  ideal place  to  test  his  people and to help  them  learn  faith  and endurance.

    Midbar, arabah and eremos—Biblical wilderness midbar has the meaning of “speak” or “word.”  God speaks to us in the wilderness.  God also humbles and proves us in the wilderness (Deut. 8:2).  The wilderness period can last days, or years, depending on how quickly we learn its ...read more

    As we kick off the season of Lent in 2013 we take a look at the 40 days of temptation of Christ in the wilderness and see what this means to us in our lives for Christ today.

    There is a saying, “In essentials, unity; in non-essentials, liberty; in all things, charity.” This is the first Sunday of the Lenten Season. Lent is a non-essential. Lent is not a Biblical doctrine nor is it a Scripturally mandated activity. On the other hand it is not sinful nor ...read more

    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
