THE TEMPTATION TO WRITE YOUR OWN STORY

About this episode

This episode discusses the importance of resisting temptation and aligning with God's will, using Jesus' wilderness experience as a guide during the Lenten season.

Part of growing in our relationship with Jesus is learning how to say no to ourselves and how to stand against temptation. When we talk about sin, we are looking at anything that is against God’s will for our lives. If what’s best for us is doing God’s will, then sin is never what’s best for us. When Jesus spent 40 days in the wilderness, He gave us an example of what it looks like to lean into this reality. This Lenten series will help us prepare our hearts for the celebration of the Resurrection as it brings us into Christ’s wilderness experience and examines the temptations he faced and overcame. The hope is that for every single one of us, God does something powerful in our hearts as we journey together through this series.
