On Sunday, January 29, 2023, VLC gathered in person which was also broadcasted online via YouTube. Today, Pastor Stuart Nice continued our series about walking with Jesus by exploring the temptations of Jesus who is our example of how to stand strong in the face of temptation by flipping the script that the evil one uses, learning dependence on the Holy Spirit, and trusting that God’s resources are available to us.

Jesus, full of the Holy Spirit, left the Jordan and was led by the Spirit into the wilderness, where for forty days he was tempted by the devil. He ate nothing during those days, and at the end of them he was hungry.
The devil said to him, “If you are the Son of God, tell this stone to become bread.”
Jesus answered, “It is written: ‘Man shall not live on bread alone.’”
Luke 4:1-4 (NIV)
