The Desert Trials episode 6 - the world trial: what Jesus said
About this episode
The episode explores the significance of worship and serving God in everyday life as Easter approaches.
We’re going through Lent spending time every day, not alone but with Jesus in the desert, not empty but full of his Spirit, not resting but wrestling with the things that get between us and God, not relying on ourselves but trusting in God to win every battle thanks to what Jesus did. Matthew 4:10-11 Jesus said to him, ‘Away from me, Satan! For it is written: “Worship the Lord your God, and serve him only.”’ Then the devil left him, and angels came and attended him. Jesus’ answer about worship is straightforward - only worship and serve God. What does this mean for us, though? Is it just about religious activity? How broad a role does worship have in our lives? What does it mean for us to worship God while working, talking, doing everyday things? How does this connect with our senses of identity, purpose and value? What might happen if we choose to deepen our faith in God, worship more and serve him only? We’re inviting you to reflect on this as Easter approaches. We hope you’ve enjoyed this series - thank you for listening!
