Hear the messages that Father Jeremiah delivers each week
to the congregation of Grace Anglican.
When Jesus receive the Holy Spirit in his baptism, that very Spirit drove him into the wilderness. There Jesus resists Satan for his people and brings to us who trust in him, deliverance from temptation and, ultimately, sin itself through his death and resurrection.

In our readings for the First Sunday in Lent, we hear not only about Jesus’ temptation, but also about the promise of Yahweh after the flood and the work of baptism in us. How do all of these things come together for us? What can we apply about these passages to our lives today? Listen to find out what Father Jeremiah says.
