Join us for an insightful sermon by Pastor Sarah Lowenberg titled "Be Like Jesus." In this episode, Pastor Sarah delves into the familiar story from Matthew 4:1-11, where Jesus is tempted in the wilderness. She begins by drawing a nostalgic parallel with the '90s "Be Like Mike" campaign, reflecting on how we often feel the pressure to emulate figures beyond our reach, like Michael Jordan or, more crucially, Jesus Christ. Pastor Sarah explores the nuances of temptation through Jesus's encounter with the devil, highlighting the spiritual and physical trials Jesus faced after his baptism. The sermon delves into each of the three temptations Jesus endured, linking them to broader themes of trust, obedience, and the deceptive use of scripture. Pastor Sarah emphasizes that Jesus's victory over temptation is not just an example to follow but a testament to His role as our Savior, who understands our struggles and empowers us through His Holy Spirit. This episode also addresses practical advice for resisting temptation, encapsulated in five key words: Remember, Preach, Cry Out, Link Up, and Lean In. Pastor Sarah explains how these actions can help believers stand firm when faced with their own wilderness moments. Whether you're wrestling with temptation or seeking deeper spiritual growth, this sermon invites you to consider not just the impossibility of being "like Jesus" on our own but the profound possibility through His power and grace. Tune in for a message of hope, encouragement, and a call to live out our identity as beloved children of God, destined for holiness through Christ. Join us for this journey through faith, temptation, and the transformative power of Jesus' example and salvation.
