The First Temptation

Matthew chapter 4 records the temptation of Jesus in the wilderness by the devil. How can our enemy even tempt the Son of God? What can we learn about our own battles from this one? Just how important is the role of Scripture in being victorious over these assaults? This sermon teaches us the source, the strategy and the solution to temptation.

Why was the child such a threat to Herod? What may have prompted Joseph to consider returning to Judea at first instead of his hometown in Galilee? How do we make sense of the Hosea prophecy to Israel (“out of Egypt I called my son”) applied to Jesus? The message covers an object of hate, agent of grace, and climax of plan.

What is the difference between an “accusation” by the devil and a “temptation”? This Ephesians 6 sermon teaches us whom we fight (not only flesh and blood), what we fight (the schemes of the devil), and how we fight (with everything!).
