Broadcast<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n Temptation - Part 2\n Matthew 4:3-4\n 02\/24\/2026\n\n\n 3 And the tempter came and said to him, ``If you are\n the Son of God, command these stones to become\n loaves of bread.''\n 4 But he answered, ``It is written, `Man shall not\n live by bread alone, but by every word that comes\n from the mouth of God.''' (ESV)\n\n During Lent we reflect on God's grace, love, and mercy as He\n delivered us from sin, death, and the power of the devil. Last\n 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.\n\n\n Immediately after He was baptized, Jesus went by Himself\n into the wilderness in order to be tempted by the devil. Jesus\n had to overcome the temptations which we fail to overcome. His\n victory over sin had to include victory over the sins which\n continue to defeat each of us. The first temptation concerned\n our bodily needs.\n\n Jesus had been fasting for forty days. He was hungry. As\n true man, He was at the end of His energy, weak with hunger.\n And the tempter came and said to him, ``If you are the\n Son of God, command these stones to become loaves of\n bread.'' But he answered, ``It is written, `Man shall\n not live by bread alone, but by every word that comes\n from the mouth of God.'''\n\n\n Jesus trusted in His Father, even when weak with hunger. He\n proved He is the Son of God by rebuking the devil and by holding\n to God's Word alone.\n\n May our Lord grant us faith that He will provide for us in\n time of need so we trust in Him for all things. Amen.<\/code><\/pre>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"February 24, 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-4512","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\/4512","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=4512"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"http:\/\/trinityslayton.info\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/4512\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":4513,"href":"http:\/\/trinityslayton.info\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/4512\/revisions\/4513"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"http:\/\/trinityslayton.info\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=4512"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/trinityslayton.info\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=4512"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/trinityslayton.info\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=4512"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
