Becoming Hungry: 40 Days of Lent (To Be Tempted)


Listen Later

The second sermon in the six week series, Becoming Hungry, "To Be Tempted" is the latest message discussing the thrice temptations of Jesus and His Biblical/spiritual responses. As we intend to break free of the wilderness, Lucifer meets us at the hallowed doorway to tempt us back to the desert areas of our lives. Met with Christian temperament, we are shown in The Scriptures (Matthew 4:3-11) the nature of Christ, Divine and human, checked in the balance by Satanic power. The defeat of the devil is pride and in this gesture, he sought to undermine the potential weakness of Jesus Christ, Whom has none at all, and is thwarted in His attempts. We model this from Our Lord, bound to be tempted, so we prove an example of grace and so rebuke the evil by profession of Christ and by reminder of His Word, which prunes, and pricks, and discerns correctly, growing us as we grow hungry during this season of Lent.
