audio icon Two Temptation Scenes

This series of 47 messages are based on the two temptation scenes recorded in Genesis 3:1-6 and Matthew 4:1-11. These two passages have much to teach us concerning spiritual warfare. They can help us understand the ways and wiles of Satan, the way he attacks us, the major areas that can go wrong in our lives and how we can be vigilant. We will also learn from the Lord Jesus how we can live an overcoming life and worship and serve God only.
