Week One: The Devil Made Me Do It
SHARE
Share your Highs and Lows for the week with each other.
READ
Read the Gospel reading for the week: Luke 4: 1-13. What part of the reading intrigued you, interested you, confused you, enlightened you?
TALK
In his sermon, Pastor Dave highlighted three ways that we can face our own temptations as modeled by Jesus in the wilderness:
1) Find strength in our baptism and belovedness to God (the promise of God to be with us),
2) God is in the wilderness and God can change us and lead us through them
(see Abraham, Moses, Jacob, etc.),
3) Seek the words of Scripture (other religious teaching) to guide us, and provide strength
Discuss how these may contribute to helping you in our own struggle with temptation. What has been helpful to you in working through your own temptations?
PRAY
Pray for each other, the world, and then share the Lord's Prayer together
BLESS
Bless each other by making the sign of the cross on the forehead and saying, "God loves you and so do I"
