First Cary UMC's First on Chatham Sermon "First Temptation: Turning Away from Worldly Desires” – Rev. Ben Alexander – Sunday, March 16, 2025
Scripture: Philippians 3:17-4:1
In the wilderness outlined in Luke 4, the devil tempted Jesus for the first of three times saying, “If you are the Son of God, command this stone to become a loaf of bread.” But we are not called to live on bread alone with a mind towards earthly things. Instead, as we too wander in the wilderness, may we find that our faith in Christ calls us to turn away from worldly desires, and towards the daily bread that is on earth as it is in heaven.
