Prepare Before the Battle

Steve Rogers • October 4, 2026 • Matthew 4:1-11

Steve Rogers preached from Matthew 4:1–11, where Jesus is led by the Spirit into the wilderness and tempted by the devil. Jesus faced the tempter only after prayer and forty days of fasting, and He answered every temptation with “It is written.” This passage calls the church to prepare before the battle comes, through prayer and deliberate time in God’s Word, trusting that we don’t fight alone and that His power is made perfect in our weakness.
