TEMPTATION IN THE WILDERNESS
Matthew 4:1-11
Run-In with the Devil:
Matthew 4:1-11, Deuteronomy 8:3, 6:16, 6:13.
1. The devil tempted Jesus’ commitment to living on the very words of God.
2. The devil tempted Jesus’ commitment to trusting God completely.
3. The devil tempted Jesus’ commitment to loving and serving God only.
Jesus is worthy to the trusted!
Temptation and Us:
- Flee from temptation, don’t flirt with it.
- When tempted, fight back with God’s Word, stay focused on God, and say “no” to the voices that draw you away from your God-given identity and purpose.
