Temptation Comes at the End

A message from the series “Lenten Jubilee: Rebuilding a Life Together”, given by Pastor Scott Austin on April 3, 2022.

The famous Gospel story of the temptation of Jesus in the wilderness offers a hint to how the forces of evil work: it is only at the very end of Jesus’s time of wilderness and deprivation, just when he is about to “go back to normal,” that he is truly tempted.
