Sermon Overview

Scripture Passage: Luke 4:1-2

No one is immune to temptation, not even Christians.

Temptation can come to any person, at any point, wherever you may be. In fact, many times, the greatest temptations come after our highest spiritual experiences. This was the case for Jesus, who was tempted by Satan after His baptism in Luke 4:1-2.

In order to learn how to handle temptation, we look to the story of when Jesus had a head-on collision with the devil, so that we may also have victory over temptation.

First, we must understand the three types of temptation we may be bombarded with:

The lust of the flesh deals with our passions.

The lust of the eyes deals with our possessions.

The pride of life deals with our person, with who we are.

They can take a myriad of forms, but our temptations are not new. The Bible says, “Jesus was tempted in all points like as we are.” (Hebrews 4:15) This means Satan tempted Him with the lust of the flesh, the lust of the eyes, the pride of life —doing, having, being—passions, possessions, pride.

Yet He was without sin.

How did Jesus overcome the temptation to sin?

He remembered He was a child of God. He submitted to God’s authority. He overcame Satan as man filled with the Holy Spirit, which is promised to us when we become Christians.

Jesus also used Scripture to combat the devil’s lies. And lastly, Jesus remembered that He was completely satisfied in His relationship with God.

As Adrian Rogers says, “Sonship, submission, the Holy Spirit, the Word of God, knowing who you are in Christ... Jesus is both the example and the power to do that.”

Apply it to your life

Are you being tempted to sin? Remember Jesus’ example. Remember who you are in Christ, submit to the Father, ask for the help of the Holy Spirit and use Scripture as your weapon. Follow the example of Jesus and win the battle against temptation with His power!

When crisis comes, where do we turn? In this episode, Dr. John Neufeld explores Isaiah's fourth and fifth woes against Judah for forming a military alliance with Egypt instead of trusting God. Using the biblical theme of "going back to Egypt" as a symbol of turning away from God, he examines how Judah's leaders sought security in Egyptian military power and rejected the prophets who called them to repentance. Dr. Neufeld challenges listeners to consider where they place their trust when facing life's storms.

The Grand Vision: God's Story Through Isaiah: Isaiah is the second-most quoted book in the New Testament, yet many Christians have never studied it deeply. In this 10-message series, Dr. John guides listeners through this essential prophetic book, exploring Isaiah's 50-year ministry during one of Israel's most turbulent periods. From temple visions to confrontations with kings, from oracles against nations to prophecies of the coming Messiah, Isaiah reveals God's sovereignty over all history and His plan for the world through Jesus Christ.

Through her personal story and wisdom from Scripture, Amanda reminds us that becoming who God created us to be isn’t about striving harder — it’s about abiding deeper. When we truly know God’s Word, grow in His presence, and go where He leads, we’ll find the peace and confidence our hearts have been longing for.

You’ll learn:

• What it means to know God and let His Word shape your identity.
• How to grow in faith through rest, prayer, and connection with others.
• How to go and live on mission in your everyday life — even in the small moments.
