The document summarizes Jesus' three temptations by Satan in the wilderness as recorded in Matthew 4:1-11. It states that Jesus was tempted in the same three ways that mankind is tempted: 1) the lust of the flesh, 2) the lust of the eyes, and 3) the pride of life. It then provides biblical examples of each type of temptation from the Garden of Eden story and other passages. Finally, it exhorts the reader not to give in to temptation but to rely on Jesus' power to overcome.
Tomorrow we are starting a new series of study:
“The New Man” is a seminar that will focus on the spirit of man, its soul and its body.
We will learn the properties of each one of these three parts of man.
Our spirit is called to be the ruling part of us, actually, our spirit is the main part of our being, and is the place where the spirit of God dwells in.
We meet in Room #3 at CTF Toronto Wednesdays from 7:00 – 9:00 pm. I invite you to come and participate with us in this discovery of how to let our spirit become the ruler of our life.
Before Christ came into our lives, we were children of darkness. But even as God is light, and Christ is the light of the world, so also are we are children of light. As such, we ought to walk in the light and behave in a manner consistent with our calling. Wake up oh Christian and let your light shine.
John 3:1-5. A New Life In Christ. In the new life we have been born again. In the new life we are a new creation. In the new life we crucify the flesh with its passions and desires. In the new life we are transformed by the renewing of our minds. In the new life we are renewed by the Holy Spirit. In the new life we are dead to sin but alive to God. In the new life we are washed from our sins. in the new life we put to death the old man and put on the new man. In the new life we died and our life is hidden with Christ in God. In the new life we were brought back from death in sin.

It's hard for most people to grasp the concept of being a slave. Most would deny that they are servants. But the reality is that we are all slaves/servants to something. If one is honest with himself He'll admit that he is in bondage to his job, to a location where he lives, to a bad marriage, to a sick and dying body and most of all to sin. Paul speaks in the context to the Roman empire where the majority of his listeners are servants. You may not be this kind of a servant, but the principles are still applicable to employees, students and even children. Jesus did not come to rule but to serve. We are to do the same.

John 1:6-13 Behold what manner of love the Father has bestowed on us that we should be called children of God. Children get the Father's love. God's spirit dwells in His children. Children get to be like the Father. Children get corrected by the Father. Children receive the inheritance.
This is a SS lesson for 10/21/2012. Dying to self / living for God puts you into His Community (Body) that you share in, and that shares with you. You can more than "survive" -- really, thrive as a serving functioning, loving part of that body. His Church of redeemed believers is His joy, and He will be found in them: to God be all the glory! This lesson shares some other passages by Paul about God's multi-faceted grace that shows up for all the world to see in His Church.
a savior implies a need, hope for deliverance, a better way of life, and responsibility on our part, Luke 2:6-14. Jesus was born into this world to be a savior.
Fear is common to all. We all fear something. Some fear is God given. Children come into this world with a fear of heights and of loud noises. Some fears are there to protect us from physical harm: snakes, darkness, suffocation, being burned, death, etc. In christians, most fear is a tool of satan
Genesis 47:13-15 Now there was no bread in all the land; for the famine was very severe, so that the land of Egypt and the land of Canaan languished because of the famine. 14 And Joseph gathered up all the money that was found in the land of Egypt and in the land of Canaan, for the grain which they bought; and Joseph brought the money into Pharaoh's house. 15 So when the money failed in the land of Egypt and in the land of Canaan, all the Egyptians came to Joseph and said, "Give us bread, for why should we die in your presence? For the money has failed." There are a number of reasons that money fails.
I beseech you – beg, urge, encourage, appeal
By the mercies of God – compassion
Present your bodies a living sacrifice – as opposed to a sacrifice of death
Holy, Acceptable to God – pure, without spot or blemish
Your reasonable service – since Christ died for us we should live our lives for him. 2 Corinthians 5:15 and He died for all, that those who live should live no longer for themselves, but for Him who died for them and rose again.
John 3:16 is the most quoted and most remembered scripture from the bible.
Did you know that there are a number of other 3:16 verses that relate to and are very important to our spiritual lives and our living for Jesus?
Tonight we are going to look at some of those 3:16 scriptures.
Philippians 1:9-11 And this I pray, that your love may abound still more and more in knowledge and all discernment, 10 that you may approve the things that are excellent, that you may be sincere and without offense till the day of Christ, 11 being filled with the fruits of righteousness which are by Jesus Christ, to the glory and praise of God.
Brotherly love has amazed many people throughout the centuries. Love of the brethren is commanded by God. Brotherly love mus be worked at to achieve. problems in the church are either directly or indirectly connected to lack of love for one another. love is the key to a growing or even a surviving church.
Jesus makes it very clear that we need to forgive others in order to be forgiven ourselves by God. Forgiveness is a key to having successful relationships. we will look at nine roadblocks to forgiveness from the book, "From Anger to Intimacy"
in Galatians chapter 3 Paul contrasts salvation under the Law of Moses with the salvation we have through Jesus. Galatians 3:22-29 is full of truths regarding our true position as sons of our loving Father. We will look at 8 things which our faith in Christ will cause us to become.
We are God's workmanship created in Christ Jesus to do good works. We are blessed for doing God's work. We are to speak and do. Faith without works is dead. Faith is shown by our works.
Jonah is a book about god's desire to save the lost and man's role in that. there are some great lessons taught in the book of Jonah. We will look at questions Jonah was asked in the book and ask those questions of ourselves.
we all need motivation at times. what motivates you? Paul said 5 things to the brethren at Rome to motivate them to continue their service no matter how great the suffering became. the good always outweighs the bad. the Holy Spirit intercedes for us. God's providence works for us. Judgment is on our behalf. the love of God is on our behalf.
Repentance is a change in your allegiance, your expectations, your values, your priorities, your mission and your morals. can you say there has been a change in your life since you met the Lord?
Isaiah 9:6-7 Jesus would be called or known as wonderful. Wonderful in His birth. Wonderful in His miracles. Wonderful in His teachings. Wonderful in His resistance to sin. Wonderful in His accomplishing His work. Wonderful in His fulfilling prophecies. Wonderful in His sacrifice. Wonderful in His resurrection. Wonderful is His Name.
Isaiah 9:6-7 Jesus would be called or known as Mighty God. Prophecies said he would be God. John said He was Creator and God. Jesus claimed to be God. Thomas said He was God. Paul said He was Creator. Paul called Him God. John said Jesus was the True God.
Isaiah 9:6-7 His name will be called or He would be known as counselor. He is a counselor who understands your struggles. He is a counselor who cares for you. He is a counselor who is committed to you.
I John 2:28-3:3 Tests for Christians. Do you abide in Christ? Do you practice righteousness? Who knows you? Are you a child of God? Are you pure, just as He is pure? What is your identity?
I John 4:1-6 tests for christians 3 - the test of false teaching. Bluffing your way. Do you confess the Son? Do you listen to the Son? Do you obey the Son? Do you pass the test?
Ephesians 3:14-21 How big is your God? The ability of my God is boundless. The ability of my God goes beyond my prayers. The ability of my God is beyond my ability to imagine. The ability of my God is manifested in the lives of His people. The ability of my God is seen through His glorious church. The ability of my God is eternal.
The resurrection of jesus is a prevarication (spoken against), a plethora (great number) of witnesses, a proven fact, a purpose to save us. a plea to live worthy, a pattern for us to follow, a power from God, a promise for us, to believe in, a pledge by our savior.
In Jude 17-23 Jude shifts from piling up examples of false teachers from the Old Testament to a series of practical exhortations that flow from apostolic instruction. He preserves for us what may well have been part of the apostolic catechism for the first generation of Christ-followers. In these instructions Jude exhorts the believer to deal with 3 different groups of people: scoffers who are "devoid of the Spirit", believers who have come under the influence of scoffers and believers who are so entrenched in false teaching that they need rescue and pose some real spiritual risk for the rescuer. In all of this Jude emphasizes Jesus' call to rescue straying sheep, leaving the 99 safely behind and pursuing the 1.

2. Matthew 4:1-11 Then Jesus was led up by the Spirit into the
wilderness to be tempted by the devil. (2) And when He had
fasted forty days and forty nights, afterward He was hungry.
(3) Now when the tempter came to Him, he said, "If You are
the Son of God, command that these stones become bread."
(4) But He answered and said, "It is written, 'Man shall not live
by bread alone, but by every word that proceeds from the
mouth of God.' " (5) Then the devil took Him up into the holy
city, set Him on the pinnacle of the temple, (6) and said to
Him, "If You are the Son of God, throw Yourself down. For it is
written: 'He shall give His angels charge over you,' and, 'In
their hands they shall bear you up, Lest you dash your foot
against a stone.' " (7) Jesus said to him, "It is written again,
'You shall not tempt the LORD your God.' " (8) Again, the
devil took Him up on an exceedingly high mountain, and
showed Him all the kingdoms of the world and their glory. (9)
And he said to Him, "All these things I will give You if You will
fall down and worship me." (10) Then Jesus said to him,
"Away with you, Satan! For it is written, 'You shall worship
the LORD your God, and Him only you shall serve.' " (11)
Then the devil left Him, and behold, angels came and
ministered to Him.
3. TEMPTATIONS
A. Jesus was tempted by Satan in the same three
ways mankind was tempted before Him and after
Him. The lust of the eyes, the lust of the flesh and
the pride of life.
B. (Gen 3:6) So when the woman saw that the tree
was good for food, that it was pleasant to the
eyes, and a tree desirable to make one wise, she
took of its fruit and ate. She also gave to her
husband with her, and he ate.
C. (1 John 2:15-17) Do not love the world or the
things in the world. If anyone loves the world, the
love of the Father is not in him. {16} For all that is
in the world; the lust of the flesh, the lust of the
eyes, and the pride of life; is not of the Father but
is of the world. {17} And the world is passing
away, and the lust of it; but he who does the will of
God abides forever.
4. I. THE TEMPTATION OF THE FLESH
A. JESUS WAS TEMPTED WITH SATISFYING HIS PHYSICAL
HUNGER - (Mat 4:1-4) Then Jesus was led up by the
Spirit into the wilderness to be tempted by the devil. {2}
And when He had fasted forty days and forty nights,
afterward He was hungry. {3} Now when the tempter
came to Him, he said, “If You are the Son of God,
command that these stones become bread.” {4} But He
answered and said, “It is written, ‘Man shall not live by
bread alone, but by every word that proceeds from the
mouth of God.’”
B. EVE WAS TEMPTED WITH FRUIT GOOD FOR FOOD
C. WE ARE TEMPTED WITH ALL KINDS OF FLESHLY
DESIRES: ALCOHOL & DRUGS, SEX, GLUTTONY,
TOBACCO
D. (Rom 13:13-14) Let us walk properly, as in the day, not in
revelry and drunkenness, not in lewdness and lust, not in
strife and envy. {14} But put on the Lord Jesus Christ,
and make no provision for the flesh, to fulfill its lusts.
5. II. THE TEMPTATION OF PRIDE
A.JESUS WAS TEMPTED TO TEST HIS
IMPORTANCE TO GOD - (Mat 4:5-7) Then
the devil took Him up into the holy city, set
Him on the pinnacle of the temple, {6} and
said to Him, “If You are the Son of God,
throw Yourself down. For it is written: ‘He
shall give His angels charge over you,’
and, ‘In their hands they shall bear you up,
Lest you dash your foot against a stone.’”
{7} Jesus said to him, “It is written again,
‘You shall not tempt the LORD your God.’”
B.EVE WAS TEMPTED WITH ACHIEVING THE
WISDOM OF GOD
6. II. THE TEMPTATION OF PRIDE
C. WE ARE TEMPTED WITH THE PRIDE OF
LIFE,
1. PRIDE WHICH MAKES US THINK WE ARE
BETTER THAN OTHERS - Galatians
6:3 For if anyone thinks himself to be
something, when he is nothing, he
deceives himself.
2. PRIDE WHICH KEEPS US FROM
ADMITTING OUR SIN, SHORT-COMINGS,
FAULTS - Proverbs 30:12 There is a
generation that is pure in its own eyes,
Yet is not washed from its filthiness.
7. II. THE TEMPTATION OF PRIDE
D.(Prov 16:18-19) Pride goes before
destruction, And a haughty spirit before a
fall. {19} Better to be of a humble spirit
with the lowly, Than to divide the spoil with
the proud.
8. III. THE TEMPTATION OF POSSESSIONS
A. JESUS WAS TEMPTED WITH ALL THE
KINGDOMS OF THE WORLD - (Mat 4:8-11)
Again, the devil took Him up on an exceedingly
high mountain, and showed Him all the
kingdoms of the world and their glory. {9} And
he said to Him, “All these things I will give You if
You will fall down and worship me.” {10} Then
Jesus said to him, “Away with you, Satan! For it
is written, ‘You shall worship the LORD your
God, and Him only you shall serve.’” {11} Then
the devil left Him, and behold, angels came and
ministered to Him.
B. EVE WAS TEMPTED WITH THE SIGHT OF THE
FRUIT AND DESIRE TO TAKE IT.
9. III. THE TEMPTATION OF POSSESSIONS
C.WE ARE TEMPTED WITH DESIRE FOR
POSSESSIONS CONSTANTLY:
1. OUR TIME
2. OUR MONEY
3. OUR THINGS
4. OUR ENERGY
5. OUR SALVATION
10. III. THE TEMPTATION OF POSSESSIONS
D. (1 Tim 6:6-10) Now godliness with contentment
is great gain. {7} For we brought nothing into
this world, and it is certain we can carry nothing
out. {8} And having food and clothing, with these
we shall be content. {9} But those who desire to
be rich fall into temptation and a snare, and into
many foolish and harmful lusts which drown
men in destruction and perdition. {10} For the
love of money is a root of all kinds of evil, for
which some have strayed from the faith in their
greediness, and pierced themselves through
with many sorrows.
11. IV. ALL THESE TEMPTATIONS WERE TO
TAKE JESUS, AND US, AWAY FROM
OUR PURPOSE.
A.If Satan can keep us focused on our
fleshly desires and needs the he keeps us
from focusing on our, and others, spiritual
needs.
B.If Satan can keep us focused on our pride
he can keep us from standing up for Jesus
and confessing him before men.
C.If Satan can keep us focused on power
and possessions he can keep us from
focusing on eternal things, heavenly
things.
12. YOU AND TEMPTATION
A. TEMPTATION IS NOT A SIN - (James 1:14-15) But each
one is tempted when he is drawn away by his own
desires and enticed. {15} Then, when desire has
conceived, it gives birth to sin; and sin, when it is full-
grown, brings forth death.
B. HAVE YOU GIVEN INTO TO TEMPTATION - (1 Cor
10:13) No temptation has overtaken you except such
as is common to man; but God is faithful, who will not
allow you to be tempted beyond what you are able, but
with the temptation will also make the way of escape,

C. JESUS CAN HELP - (Heb 2:17-18) Therefore, in all
things He had to be made like His brethren, that He
might be a merciful and faithful High Priest in things
pertaining to God, to make propitiation for the sins of
the people. {18} For in that He Himself has suffered,
being tempted, He is able to aid those who are
tempted.
13. YOU AND TEMPTATION
D. NO CONDEMNATION IN CHRIST - (Rom 8:1-14) There
is therefore now no condemnation to those who are in
Christ Jesus, who do not walk according to the flesh,
but according to the Spirit. {2} For the law of the Spirit
of life in Christ Jesus has made me free from the law
of sin and death. {3} For what the law could not do in
that it was weak through the flesh, God did by sending
His own Son in the likeness of sinful flesh, on account
of sin: He condemned sin in the flesh, {4} that the
righteous requirement of the law might be fulfilled in
us who do not walk according to the flesh but
according to the Spirit. {5} For those who live
according to the flesh set their minds on the things of
the flesh, but those who live according to the Spirit,
the things of the Spirit. {6} For to be carnally minded
is death, but to be spiritually minded is life and peace.

14. YOU AND TEMPTATION
{7} Because the carnal mind is enmity against God; for it
is not subject to the law of God, nor indeed can be. {8} So
then, those who are in the flesh cannot please God. {9}
But you are not in the flesh but in the Spirit, if indeed the
Spirit of God dwells in you. Now if anyone does not have
the Spirit of Christ, he is not His. {10} And if Christ is in
you, the body is dead because of sin, but the Spirit is life
because of righteousness. {11} But if the Spirit of Him
who raised Jesus from the dead dwells in you, He who
raised Christ from the dead will also give life to your
mortal bodies through His Spirit who dwells in you. {12}
Therefore, brethren, we are debtors; not to the flesh, to
live according to the flesh. {13} For if you live according
to the flesh you will die; but if by the Spirit you put to
death the deeds of the body, you will live. {14} For as
many as are led by the Spirit of God, these are sons of
God.
