Episode Synopsis

Temptation, Trust, and Timing… Treading the Path of ChristOnline Bulletin: https://tinyurl.com/mphpmcsuIn our fast-paced, "I want it now!" culture, we're accustomed to immediate gratification—from instant news and online banking to buy-now-pay-later offers. Yet, what happens when we slow down and journey intentionally through the season of Lent?In this service, titled "Temptation, Trust, and Timing… Treading the Path of Christ," we explore how Jesus faced temptation in the wilderness (Luke 4:1-13) and how He responded with unwavering trust in God's Word (Psalm 91:1-13). Jesus teaches us that immediate gratification doesn’t lead to lasting satisfaction—true fulfillment comes from relying on God's promises, not temporary fixes.Together, we’ll reflect on the parallels between Jesus' temptations and our own struggles in today's instant-gratification culture. Whether it's stress, relationships, or daily pressures, we're reminded that only God's Word offers lasting satisfaction and true strength.Join us as we journey towards the cross, grounded in the victory and forgiveness Christ has already won for us.Service Times:Sunday: 8:00 a.m. Traditional | 9:30 a.m. Blended | 11:00 a.m. ContemporaryThursday: 6:30 p.m. InformalConnect with us:🌐 stpaulfalls.comWe'd love to hear from you!
