On March 12, Pastor Jeff McLain looked at the third of the three seductions in Matthew 4:1-11, the temptation of Ambition. In this passage, we saw how the why behind our ambition is one of the ways that we are tempted to question God's promises. When we are insecure in our true identity, we will live into false identities, and develop ambitions to provide success for ourselves. If we lose our identity in Jesus, we lose out on what God has for us to experience.
Throughout the Lent Season, we will be looking at how this world and evil both long to undermine confidence in our identity in Jesus by getting us to doubt God's provision, God's protection, and God's promises. Those doubts are planted in our lives by temptations of appetite (Lust of the Flesh), affirmation (Pride of Life), and ambition (Lust of the Eyes).
