Message Notes:

Love Wins “…over my struggles.”

See Matthew 4:1-11

'The temptations in your life are no different from what others experience. And God is faithful. He will not allow the temptation to be more than you can stand. When you are tempted, he will show you a way out so that you can endure.’ 1Corinthians 10:13 (NLT)

For we do not have a high priest who is unable to empathize with our weaknesses, but we have one who has been tempted in every way, just as we are—yet he did not sin.    Hebrews 4:15 (NIV)

1.  Love wins… when I crave the things of God.

For forty days and forty nights he fasted and became very hungry. During that time the devil (or the tempter) came and said to him, “If you are the Son of God, tell these stones to become loaves of bread.” But Jesus told him, “No! The Scriptures say, ‘People do not live by bread alone, but by every word that comes from the mouth of God.’(Deut 8:3.)”. Matthew 4:2-4 (NLT)

Taste and see that the LORD is good. Oh, the joys of those who take refuge in him!  Psalms 34:8 (NLT)

2.  Love wins…when I CHOOSE God’s way over MINE.

Then the devil took him to the holy city, Jerusalem, to the highest point of the Temple, and said, “If you are the Son of God, jump off! For the Scriptures say, ‘He will order his angels to protect you. And they will hold you up with their hands so you won’t even hurt your foot on a stone.’(Ps 91:11-12.)” Jesus responded, “The Scriptures also say, ‘You must not test the Lord your God.’(Deut 6:16.)” Matthew 4:5-7 (NLT)

3.  Love wins… when I RELY on God’s PROMISES.

Next the devil took him to the peak of a very high mountain and showed him all the kingdoms of the world and their glory. “I will give it all to you,” he said, “if you will kneel down and worship me.” “Get out of here, Satan,” Jesus told him. “For the Scriptures say, ‘You must worship the Lord your God and serve only him.’ (Deut 6,13.)” Then the devil went away, and angels came and took care of Jesus.  Matthew 4:8-11 (NLT)

Taste and see that the LORD is good. Oh, the joys of those who take refuge in him!  Psalms 34:8 (NLT)
