Matthew 4:1-11 ~ According to Scripture

Text: Matthew 4:1-11

Title: According to Scripture

Preacher: Rev. Greg Brower

Sundays in Lent are an odd experience. All week long, Lent is a time of fasting and repentance, of grief for our sin, but on Sunday, we celebrate Jesus and the gift we have found in him. This Lenten Season, we celebrate Jesus through the eyes of the Gospel of Matthew. ON this first Sunday of Lent, we remember Jesus going off into the wilderness to be tempted by Satan. In this tense spiritual battle, we see how Jesus is the new and better Adam who is faithful to God, how he fulfills the purpose of Israel and has become the perfect Israel for us, and how he models for us, his disciples, how to resist temptation and seek our holy God. Join us this Sunday as we meet Jesus in Matthew 4:1-11.
