Welcome from Brown Chapel/Avant & Mt. Pleasant
Prayer: Rev. Pelton
Scripture: Luke 4:1-13 - And Jesus being full of the Holy Ghost returned from Jordan, and was led by the Spirit into the wilderness, being forty days tempted of the devil. And in those days he did eat nothing: and when they were ended, he afterward hungered. And the devil said unto him, If thou be the Son of God, command this stone that it be made bread. And Jesus answered him, saying, It is written, That man shall not live by bread alone, but by every word of God. And the devil, taking him up into an high mountain, shewed unto him all the kingdoms of the world in a moment of time. And the devil said unto him, All this power will I give thee, and the glory of them: for that is delivered unto me; and to whomsoever I will I give it. If thou therefore wilt worship me, all shall be thine. And Jesus answered and said unto him, Get thee behind me, Satan: for it is written, Thou shalt worship the Lord thy God, and him only shalt thou serve. And he brought him to Jerusalem, and set him on a pinnacle of the temple, and said unto him, If thou be the Son of God, cast thyself down from hence: for it is written, He shall give his angels charge over thee, to keep thee: And in their hands they shall bear thee up, lest at any time thou dash thy foot against a stone. And Jesus answering said unto him, It is said, Thou shalt not tempt the Lord thy God. And when the devil had ended all the temptation, he departed from him for a season.
Subject: The Season & The Reason for Lent
- The 40 days of Lent and fasting signifies Jesus in the wilderness.
- Sacrificing at this time of the year on our parts do not have to totally follow those 40 days but be steadfast in whatever you decide to do.
- Matthew 6:16 - Moreover when ye fast, be not, as the hypocrites, of a sad. countenance: for they disfigure their faces, that they may appear. unto men to fast. Verily I say unto you, They have their reward.
- We must remember what Jesus did for us.
- We should always turn to the Word of God.
- We are going to be tempted but we have God's Word to guide us.
