Sermon: Matthew 4:1-11
March 8th, 2009 · Posted in SERMONS · 0 CommentsI have posted today’s sermon on my sermon blog. It is the second in my Lenten series for this year on “Who Do You Say Jesus Is?” — this one based on Matthew 4:1-11 and entitled: “Jesus Helps Us Fight Temptation”.
Here’s a portion of it:
When I was little, and one of my older sisters would try to get me to do something I didn’t want to do, I would say: “You’re not my boss!”
Maybe you’ve heard one of your kids say that – or maybe you’ve said that yourself.
That’s how we need to respond to temptation. We need to say, “You’re not my boss. Jesus is my boss. I don’t serve you, I serve him.” When you face temptation, reaffirm your commitment to God. Remind yourself that you belong to Him, that He is your Lord.
