When you’re in the wilderness, how do you handle the trials, the difficulties, and the temptations?
In Luke 4, we have a famous passage about the temptation of Jesus in the wilderness. Jesus is assaulted by the Devil, and he deals with it through the Word of God. We’re going to look at how Jesus uses Scripture, and how, in a practical way, we can too.
This text shows us 1) the depth and complexity of evil, 2) some of the strategies of evil, and 3)  how to defeat evil using Scripture.
