In this message Senior Pastor Brian Hughes explores the moment right after Jesus’ baptism when He, fully God and fully human, steps into the wilderness to face intense temptation. Unlike what we might expect, Jesus doesn’t start His ministry with a crowd or a plan—He begins by confronting the tempter in isolation. Through His example, we see how temptation often comes at our most vulnerable moments, especially following spiritual highs.
We’ll unpack how Jesus resists the devil’s attempts to shake His identity with offers of immediate satisfaction, power, and approval. Knowing who we are in God is the key to overcoming temptation in our own lives, and Pastor Brian encourages us to draw near to God’s Word, embrace our God-given identity, and learn to live in the presence of God… even when the enemy tries to lure us into the “grey areas” of compromise.
Join us as we discover how to stand firm like Jesus and find life not just in bread or pleasure, but in every word from the mouth of God.
