March 9, 2025, Lent 1C: "The Slow Way"

The devil’s temptations of Jesus are not unique. They are the original temptations to dominance that have confronted every nation and organization since the beginning of history. What makes these three temptations—bread, dominion, and spectacle—so alluring? What makes Jesus different? And how does Jesus’s resistance point to a new way of being in the world? Pastor David preaches “The Slow Way” based on Luke 4:1-13.
