In the wilderness, Satan used masterful cunning to tempt Jesus, and yet Jesus triumphed. In his enthralling 5-part series, Dr. Youssef explains how Jesus defeated Satan’s every attack and how we can, too. In the epic face-off between Satan and Jesus, Jesus shows us the key to victory — the Word of God

In this urgent and compelling first message of Winning Like Jesus, Dr. Michael Youssef declares a foundational Truth: if the sinless Son of God faced temptation, then so will we. Drawing from Matthew 4:1–11, Dr. Youssef shows how Jesus confronted Satan in the desolate wilderness, standing firm on the Word of God. Temptation is not sin—but ignoring its reality is deadly. Dr. Youssef exposes Satan’s strategy: to exploit our weakness, isolate us from godly support, and twist our desires. Yet, Jesus triumphed through unwavering obedience to the Father and complete reliance on Scripture. Just as Jesus defeated the enemy, so can we—by abiding in Him, wielding His Word, and remembering who we are: redeemed, empowered, and called to be more than conquerors.
