We are all voluntary victims of Satan’s seductions. Look at your life and you’ll find far too many times of shame and sin when Satan successfully placed a temptation before you and you didn’t say no. You may wonder why you did it, but the truth is you did it. Satan knows our every weakness. He custom tailors temptations for individuals. This Lenten season, we examine some of those tailor-made temptations. We also examine how the Holy Spirit specifically equips us through Word and Sacrament, and by applying forgiveness and teaching sanctification, that we are able to fight those temptations.
“Fighting Temptation” is our Lenten sermon series from the Old Testament lessons.
Fighting Temptation…
March 10 | When you’ve just lost the battle. (Lent 1: Joshua 7:16-26)
March 17 | When you feel like giving up. (Lent 2: Jeremiah 26:8-15)
March 24 | When you feel you should be in charge. (Lent 3: Numbers 16:23-40)
March 31 | When you’ve wandered too far. (Lent 4: Judges 10:6-16)
April 7 | When your past guilt piles up. (Lent 5: Isaiah 43:16-24)
April 14 | Turning to the Lord with joy. (Lent 6: Isaiah 45:22-25)
