Matthew 4:1-11 | Week 7

Matthew 4:1-11 | October 4, 2026 | Pastor Josh Goertzen Life often brings seasons of testing that expose our inner weaknesses, fears, and shame. In this message from Matthew chapter 4, we examine Jesus facing Satan in the wilderness. When confronted with hunger, doubt, and shortcuts to glory, Jesus anchors Himself entirely in God's word and rests in His Father's care. His victory shows us that real strength comes through dependence rather than self-reliance. Are you weary from striving to prove your worth while struggling with guilt and failure? Watch this service to discover how Christ’s perfect obedience frees you from the treadmill of self-righteousness and offers lasting peace today.
