The Temptation of Jesus

You can meet her anywhere: in your phone, in the fridge, at the table, in your favourite armchair, she never turns up by accident and always picks the moment you are worn out. From that portrait of temptation the message moves to the forty days of Jesus in the wilderness (Matthew 4), seen from three angles: the plan of salvation, the accounts of the gospel writers, and the example Jesus left for us. The preacher shows that Jesus was not dragged into the desert as a weakling but went there led by the Spirit, armed with fasting, silence, prayer and the word of God, and that at the heart of every temptation lie haste and a lie glued onto a genuine need. Listen if you carry one sentence about yourself that has been destroying you for years.
