First Cary UMC's First on Chatham Sermon "Second Temptation: Turning Away from False Promises of Power” – Rev. Kollin Absher-Baer – Sunday, March 23, 2025
Scripture: Mark 10:35-45
In the wilderness outlined in Luke 4, the devil is tempting Jesus for the second of three times showing him all of the kingdoms of the world, and saying “To you I will give all this authority… If you will worship me, it will all be yours.” However, Jesus disputes this promise by acknowledging our covenant to worship and serve only the Lord, our God. While promises of power, productivity, privilege, and performance are tempting within the wilderness of the world, the Kingdom of God is reversed. The first will be last, and the last will be first.
