In this message we examine Matthew 4:1-11; The Temptation of Christ in the Wilderness and explore how we can emulate Christ by conditioning ourselves to avoid temptation through this Lenten Season.

Each week at Saint Michael’s Chapel, we illuminate the assigned reading of the Gospel of Jesus Christ through Expository preaching and thorough exegesis, in the hopes of sharing with you the biblical meaning of the word of God.
