On July 20, 2025, Singapore Immanuel Church held its Sunday Service with grace and reflection.
Intern Pastor Deborah delivered the sermon based on Matthew 4:1–11, titled “Man Shall Not Live on Bread Alone, But on Every Word That Comes from the Mouth of God.” She opened the message by highlighting how Jesus was led by the Holy Spirit into the wilderness to be tempted. Though Jesus Himself could not sin, He willingly underwent temptation to reveal how believers can overcome it.
Throughout the three temptations—centered on material needs, love, and fame—Satan persistently challenged Jesus’ identity. Yet, each time, Jesus responded unwaveringly with, “It is written,” demonstrating the unshakable power of God’s Word. Even after fasting for 40 days and nights and being physically weakened, He stood firm.
Through this passage, the congregation was reminded that the key to resisting temptation lies in being deeply rooted in the Word of God and maintaining absolute faith in obedience. Jesus, as the perfect Son of God, set the example for all believers to follow—remaining firm in identity and not falling prey to the enemy’s lies.
May all who attended be led by God to live lives centered on His Word, strengthened in truth, and faithful in obedience.
