Welcome to Calvary's Online Campus!

Join us for an in-depth, verse-by-verse Bible study through the Gospel of Mark, focusing on Mark 1:12-13 in our third installment of this series, titled, “The Temptation of Jesus: The Key to Victory.” This expository teaching explores Jesus’ wilderness experience, where He faced temptation alone, in a weakened state, yet emerged victorious through obedience and reliance on God’s Word.

In this study, we unpack the profound moment early in Jesus’ ministry when the Holy Spirit drove Him into the wilderness to confront Satan. Drawing from parallel accounts in Matthew 4:1-11 and Luke 4:1-13, we examine the three temptations Jesus faced—turning stones to bread, leaping from the temple, and worshipping Satan for worldly power—and how He overcame each with Scripture. Through cross-references like Deuteronomy 8:3, Psalm 91:11-12, and Romans 5:19, we see how Jesus’ obedience in the desert fulfills what Israel and Adam could not, paving the way for our redemption.

Key Sections:
1st Temptation: Stones to Bread (Matthew 4:3-4; Luke 4:3-4)
2nd Temptation: The Pinnacle of the Temple (Matthew 4:5-7; Luke 4:9-12)
3rd Temptation: The Kingdoms of the World (Matthew 4:8-10; Luke 4:5-8)

This teaching highlights key themes: the Spirit’s leading into trials, the power of God’s Word in resisting temptation, and the assurance that angels minister to those who trust God. With insights from Christian leaders like Charles Spurgeon, A.W. Tozer, Martin Luther and John Piper, we explore practical lessons for facing our own temptations with faith and obedience.

Perfect for Bible study groups, personal devotion, or anyone seeking to grow in faith, this teaching offers practical insights and encouragement for navigating life’s wilderness moments. Don’t miss this opportunity to explore how Jesus’ example equips us to stand firm in trials.

We pray that you are blessed by the message!
