In this sermon on Luke 4:1–13, Stephen Davey explains that temptation is unavoidable, persistent, and uniquely tailored to each person, but it can be resisted through the same resources Jesus used. As Christ faces Satan in the wilderness, He rejects three core temptations: to put Himself first, to take an easier path outside God’s will, and to manipulate God’s Word for personal gain. Instead, Jesus responds with obedience, submission, patience, and a deep reliance on Scripture. Davey emphasizes that victory over temptation comes not from escaping it but from trusting God’s will and applying His Word, reminding believers that Christ’s sinless triumph provides both their example and their ultimate hope.
