Pastor Benny continues the series in Matthew. Jesus called Simon-Peter, Andrew, James & John to follow Him. It was a big deal for simple fishermen to be invited by a rabbi to follow him. While others may have thought these men couldn’t make the cut, Jesus did. And Jesus invites ALL of us to follow Him Matthew 4:12-22 calvarymd.com

After Jesus fasted for 40 days in the wilderness, Satan came and tempted Jesus in 3 areas: 1. His Source of Provision 2. His Source of Identity 3. His Source of Authority Matthew 4:3-11 calvarymd.com

The same Spirit that led Jesus to be baptized, now led Jesus to the wilderness to be tempted by the devil. If the Spirit leads you TO the wilderness, He’ll lead you THROUGH the wilderness. Matthew 4:1-2
