Curt Mire preaching on Matthew 4:1-11

David praises the Lord for delivering him from the hand of his enemies and describes the Lord in terms that show us His might and power.

There is a famine in the land – not an ordinary famine, but one of three years. David inquires of the Lord why this occurs and is told that it is a covenant curse because of Saul’s breaking Israel’s covenant with the Gibeonites

One of the most deceptive aspects of sin is that it tricks us into thinking it is original. We may believe that the Word of God does not direct our actions, or that we have found a loophole in God’s Law, or that our situation is unique.

The apostle Paul sets for the central doctrine of the Christian faith: we are not saved by who we are or by our works, but by the work of Jesus Christ, received by faith (Galatians 2:15-16)
