2.22.26 Encountering Hope: Jesus’ temptation in the wilderness

February 28, 2026 • First St. Charles UMC

0:00 | 25:03

Welcome to the worship podcast for Sunday, February 22nd, 2026.

Join us as Pastor Kim begins our worship series: Encountering Hope

There is a progression of meetings and encounters that Jesus has on his way to the cross. Each encounter points toward the hope of redemption and salvation. Each encounter is more public than the previous, leading us from individual experiences to group encounters to a redemptive event for the whole world.

In today's message, Jesus is tempted by the devil. Temptations include power, prestige, and meeting personal needs without God’s help. How do we struggle with our own temptations? Who is there to help us in our times of deepest need?

Matthew 4:1-11
