God’s presence is closer than we realize — just as Jacob discovered when he declared, “Surely the Lord is in this place, and I did not know it.” Even ordinary places can become holy ground.
In this message, our rector looks at the active role of angels in Scripture. Angels are created to protect and serve God’s purposes — and to guard His people. Yet despite their strength, God entrusts dominion of the earth not to angels, but to us.
We'll also look at Jesus’ temptation in the wilderness and the deeper strategy of Satan, the “adversary” who accuses and distracts. Through fasting and trust in the Father, Jesus resists every temptation, refusing shortcuts around the cross.
Ultimately, we find that Scripture reveals a God who continually draws near to His children, even in their weakness and sin.
As Lent begins, the encouragement is simple:
Do not fear weakness.
Do not believe the accusing voice.
Christ has faced the enemy — and He has won.
