(ESV)\n\n We are now in the first full week of the season of Lent.\n This last Sunday we prayed:\n O Lord God; You led Your ancient people through the\n wilderness and brought them to the promised land.\n Guide the people of Your Church that following our\n Savior we may walk through the wilderness of this world\n toward the glory of the world to come; through Jesus\n Christ, Your Son, our Lord, who lives and reigns with\n You and the Holy Spirit, one God, now and forever.\n\n\n The story of the Passover and Exodus from Egypt provides the\n foundation for the Old Testament, and finds its fulfillment in\n the New Testament. God delivers His people. In spite of\n temptation, in spite of hardships, God leads His people forward\n for their ultimate blessing.\n\n Jesus, called the Lamb of God by John the Baptizer, is the\n one who delivers us from sin and death. He did this by\n overcoming temptation, by rebuking the devil, and then dying so\n that eternal death passes over those who trust in His blood. His\n resurrection is the final proof that God has delivered His\n people, that our journey through this life ends as we live in our\n heavenly Father's mansions.\n\n Then Jesus was led up by the Spirit into the wilderness\n to be tempted by the devil. And after fasting forty\n days and forty nights, he was hungry.\n\n\n This week we will explore the temptation of Jesus in the\n wilderness with our delivery from sin, death, and the power of\n the devil.\n\n May our Lord grant you the blessing of peace as we ponder\n His grace and love. Amen.<\/code><\/pre>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"February 23, 2026 Broadcast<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[15],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-4510","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-turn-your-radio-on-2026"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"http:\/\/trinityslayton.info\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/4510","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"http:\/\/trinityslayton.info\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"http:\/\/trinityslayton.info\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/trinityslayton.info\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/trinityslayton.info\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=4510"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"http:\/\/trinityslayton.info\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/4510\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":4511,"href":"http:\/\/trinityslayton.info\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/4510\/revisions\/4511"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"http:\/\/trinityslayton.info\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=4510"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/trinityslayton.info\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=4510"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/trinityslayton.info\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=4510"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
