"Jesus is hungry and facing the Slanderer. Having his sonship and relationship with God tested, how will Jesus respond?"

Join us as we take a deep dive into the story found in Matthew's gospel of Jesus being testing in the wilderness. We dive down deep into each individual test. The hope is this pulls us closer to God.

Merry Christmas! We move from one giant moment to the next. Moving along in Matthew's introduction of Jesus to us, we go from the Nativity of Jesus to his baptism. But why does Jesus need to be Baptized? How does this fulfill righteousness? What does it have to do with you, me, and Joe? Come and See?
