Scripture: I Peter 4:12-13; Matthew 4:1-11

Topic: : Temptation

Notes:- This trial is preparing you for glory to come- Christ was a man of no reputation- I make deliberate decisions to give up rights- Satan wants me to do God's will my way.- Satan tempted Jesus same way he tempts us- We don't want to endure but to take shortcut- Satan's temptations seem good if we don't know scripture/aren't filled with Spirit- Not about feeding people but preaching gospel- Jesus didn't coerce people to belief by miracles- To follow Jesus, have no expectations- Revival tactics, healing services-religious show- Parable of rich man and Lazarus- We've redefined sin to accommodate ourselves- When you love Jesus, you don't look for excuse to sin; either Jesus or devil in you
