In this message, we’re reminded that Scripture says this world lies in the grip of Satan. We explore how the enemy does have a certain kind of power—he can reveal things, offer shortcuts, and make bold promises. In the temptation of Jesus, Satan even tries to bargain, offering what appears to be authority and influence in exchange for worship. But Jesus never loses sight of His purpose. He refuses the shortcut, stands on the Word of God, and shows us what it looks like to remain faithful in a world under pressure.
