Cycle C - 1st Lent - Resisting Satan’s Temptations in Our Lives - Presented by Deacon Bob Pladek - Sermon Videos

Peace to everyone,

Each year, the Church begins Lent with this Gospel account: Jesus fasted and prayed 40 days in the desert, only to be challenged by Satan’s three temptations.
Temptations of fear, frustration and fantasy, that, in one form or another, each of us also face many times in daily life.
Jesus responded to His temptations by using the Word of God (Scripture); perhaps it makes good sense for us to memorize and use Scripture to resist our temptations?
In today’s message, I invite you to listen to a true story about a man, Steve, who faced life-changing temptations with potential dire consequences, and how God’s love and grace helped him to return to follow God’s will for his life. May Steve’s story inspire all of us to know that, “Greater is He who is in us, then the one who is in the world.”
