Temptation 2026 02 22

About this episode

Pastor Will discusses the temptations Jesus faced in the wilderness and the significance of confronting our distractions during Lent.

Jesus spent forty days in the wilderness — no distractions, nowhere to hide. Lent invites us to do the same. This week, Pastor Will walks through Matthew 4:1-11 and the temptations Jesus faced, asking what we might find waiting for us when we finally put down our distractions and go into the wilderness on purpose.
