August 2-3, 2008 This week's "Reflection" by Gary Keith, Pastor of Teaching & Worship
This week we
looked at the temptation of Jesus. Just like our own daily lives Jesus had
a choice to make: Do I say "yes" to God or do I say "no" to God? As I
reflect on this a bit more, the time preparing for this message has renewed my
need to find the appropriate scripture for the temptations that I face. It was
clear that Jesus used scripture to win over temptation. So I need to be
about finding the right scripture to combat the temptation I face
frequently.
I had several
people talk to me after the message asking how I knew so much about them. After
I had a little fun joking around saying that God had spoken to me about them (He
didn't really) I was reminded about the commonness of our temptations (1
Corinthians 10:13). If you have a few minutes, why don't you join our weekly
blog reflecting on the sermon for this week. Maybe you could respond
to the following question: What will I be doing differently this week after
hearing the message from Matthew 4:1-11?
God bless and have
a great week. May your winning over temptation be frequent!
