Led by the Spirit into the Wilderness
Being led by the Holy Spirit doesn’t always mean comfort—it often means preparation. Jesus is driven into a lonely, harsh place on purpose for a purpose: to face the enemy and show us how to overcome.
The Three-Fold Temptation
Pastor Tim unpacks the devil’s three strategic attacks:
Turn stones into bread (Lust of the Flesh)
Jump from the temple (Pride of Life)
Worship Satan for the kingdoms of the world (Lust of the Eyes)
The Power of the Word
Jesus doesn’t use supernatural force to defeat Satan—He uses Scripture. “It is written” becomes the sword of victory, modeling our own path to resisting sin.
Identity and Worship
Every temptation questioned Jesus’ identity. Satan’s ultimate goal is not merely your sin—it’s your worship. Whatever you value most, you’ll serve. So… who’s really running your life?
