First Cary UMC's First Sanctuary Sermon "In the Wilderness” – Rev. Ben Alexander – Sunday, March 9, 2025

 

Scripture: Luke 4:1-13

 

Filled with the Holy Spirit from his Baptism, Jesus was led into the wilderness where he was tempted for forty days. Over and over again, the devil encouraged Jesus to turn towards worldly desires, power, and pride. However, Jesus experienced the wilderness as both a place of temptation, but also, of transformation. Turning towards God’s call upon his life. As you journey in the wilderness of the season of Lent, or in this season of life, may you too find that God’s presence will turn you from temptation towards transformation.
