Message #376, Matthew 4:1-11, “The Garden, the Wilderness, and the Messiah” Sunday, June 2, 2019 We dig into our study of Jesus in Matthew 4, and examine His temptation in the wilderness. Our sermon questions are: What is the lust of the flesh? What is God's purpose in leading me through difficult/humbling experiences? (Matthew 4:1-4) What is the pride of life? How may I overcome the circumstances/temptations that provoke me to question if God is with me? (Matthew 4:5-7) What is the lust of the eyes? Why are worship and service to God critical to having a right relationship with the things of this world? (Matthew 4:8-11) Related verses: Genesis 2:16 Genesis 3 Deuteronomy 8 Exodus 16 Deuteronomy 6:16 Exodus 17:1-7 Deuteronomy 6:13-15 Deuteronomy 6:4-13 Psalm 2; 22:22-31 Hebrews 2:17-18; 4:15-16 Romans 3:23 1 John 2:2; 4:10 1 John 2:15-17 Ephesians 2:3 Galatians 5:17 1 Peter 2:11 2 Timothy 2:22 Jeremiah 17:9-10 James 4:6,10 Luke 18:10-14 Proverbs 29:25 Proverbs 16:18 Luke 16:15 Luke 12:22-34 Hebrews 13:5-6
