Matthew 4:1-17

Stones to Bread

• Matthew 4:4
• "Man must live on every word that comes from the mouth of God."
• John 4:31-34

The Pinnacle of the Temple

The High Mountain

Summary:

1. Bread- personal needs, nourishment
2. Temple- the need for love and a sign of that love
3. Mountain- power versus obedience

Temptation is not about the question, "Would you like to do something wrong?"

Genesis 3:2-5

"...you will be like God..."

Temptation is, "What am I going to do with my life?"

What is God's will for my life? What am I going to allow God to do with my life?

What is my life?

This is who I am, this is what I do
