It Is Written: How to Overcome Temptation | Matthew 4:1–11 | Audio Sermon

About this episode

Pastor Eric Brown discusses how Jesus overcame temptation in the wilderness and how believers can use Scripture to resist spiritual attacks.

Audio Sermon — It Is Written: Standing on God’s Word In this powerful message from Matthew 4:1–11 , Pastor Eric Brown explores how Jesus defeated Satan’s temptations in the wilderness and revealed the believer’s greatest weapon against spiritual attack: the Word of God. The enemy still uses the same strategy today — the lust of the flesh, the lust of the eyes, and the pride of life. But Jesus demonstrated that victory comes when we respond to every attack with the truth of Scripture. In this sermon you will discover: • Why temptation is often a proving ground for faith • How the enemy uses shortcuts to pull believers away from God’s plan • The three core temptations Satan still uses today • How Jesus defeated temptation by declaring “It is written” • How believers can stand firm on God’s Word during trials and spiritual warfare This audio sermon will encourage you to trust God’s promises, resist temptation, and remain grounded in the truth of Scripture. When the enemy attacks, the believer’s response is simple: It is written. Scripture: Matthew 4:1–11 Speaker: Pastor Eric Brown #AudioSermon #ItIsWritten #Matthew4 #SpiritualWarfare #BibleTeaching
