Great sermon this morning

Based on Luke 4:1-12, the testing of Christ.

Some salient points

We need to be tested. (Jesus needed to be tested.) God does not tempt us but he wants us to be tested. See the Israelites in the wilderness (fail). See Jesus in the wilderness (pass). I thought of Adam and Eve in the garden.

I would rather be wrong in integrity than right without integrity. The context is in making decisions that would put one in position of power and/or prestige. Are you doing it for the acclaim or in order to serve God better and give him the glory?

Test #3 - Do you have to repeatedly make God prove how much you are loved? Do you make others prove how much they love you? Or are you assured of God's love?
