Sermon Synopsis – March 9th 2025
Luke 4:1-13
As we enter the first week of Lent, we journey with Jesus into the wilderness, where He faces the great adversary— the Fallen Angel, the ruler of this world. The Devil tempts Jesus with bread, power, and fame, offering shortcuts to glory. “If you are the Son of God…” the tempter taunts, daring Jesus to force God’s hand. Yet, Jesus does not take the bait. He refuses to put God to the test while standing firm in trust and obedience.
Nevertheless, the battle does not end there—the Devil departs only for a time (Luke 4:13), waiting for another opportunity. Our Lord Jesus, unwavering in His mission, overcomes evil not by might, but through obedience to the Father. Follow Him, for He is in our midst, walking with us through every trial. He has overcome, and He will be back
