Sermon Notes for 3/9/2025

TITLE: The Power to Overcome Temptations

SCRIPTURE: Luke 4:1-13

In the midst of our temptations and hardships, the Gospel, through the Holy Spirit, gives us the power to overcome!

While Jesus was in the wilderness, He never wavered!

Be Filled with the Holy Spirit (v.1)

1. The Spirit, NOT the devil, sent Jesus into the wilderness
2. The Spirit supported and sustained Jesus in the wilderness

Live by the Word of God (v.4)

1. The devil tempted Jesus with food and His identity “If…”
2. Luke 3:22 - “You are MY Son; with you, I am well pleased!”
3. Deuteronomy 8:3 - “We … live by every word that comes from the mouth of God.”

Worship and Serve God Only (v.8)

1. V.5 - The devil takes Jesus to a summit and shows Him the kingdoms of the world. He asks Jesus to worship him…
2. Jesus is reminded of Luke 1:32-33 - His kingdom will never end!
3. Jesus quotes Deuteronomy 6:13-15

Don’t Mock or Test God (v.12)

1. The devil takes Jesus to the pinnacle of the Temple
2. Satan quotes Psalm 91:11-12
3. Jesus quotes Deuteronomy 6:16, and the devil leaves Him

This story gives us hope. There is power in the Gospel, in the words of Christ. It’s where we find our identity, it’s where we find who has true authority over this earth, and it’s where we find Scripture that helps sustain us in our moments of weakness.
