Jesus’ preparation for ministry was the 40 days he fasted in the desert. During this time, he experienced three temptations, each more intense than the last. Yet all three times, Jesus deflected the temptation with a scripture applied creatively and with authority.

We’re not alone in the battle against temptation. Jesus was in a face-to-face battle in a barren wilderness with Satan.

In this 2-week study, examine Jesus’ time in the wilderness, and discover the hope that we can stand firm in the face of temptations.

• Recognize the ways that the devil tempts us, and how we can combat his lies.
• Be encouraged in the face of temptation with the remedy of the truth of God’s Word.
• Find comfort in the knowledge that  Jesus was tempted on every level, and was able to resist.
