Message by: Scott Treadway In the second temptation of Jesus in the wilderness, He is offered the kind of glory and power often associated with the promise of a savior, but He refuses.

Message by: Steve Salomon This past week at Rancho, we explored where true happiness is found—not in controlling circumstances, but in surrendering to God. Looking at scripture and Jesus’ example in the wilderness, we were reminded that real fulfillment comes through serving others, living with humility, and hungering for righteousness. Together, we celebrated the joy that comes when we trust God’s ways and walk in His love. For more please visit https://www.rancho.tv/events #wearerancho

Message by: Scott Treadway The temptation of Jesus in the wilderness was a dark attack on the light of human flourishing, luring Jesus away from God's vision of happiness, peace, and contentment.
