In our last series, we preached and taught on how we need to focus on God’s vision for the world, which actively shapes our church’s mission and ministries. In our Lenten series, we want to spend time discussing the things that distract us – the “noise” – that prevents us from listening to God’s vision and responding. We will be exploring how Jesus was tempted in various ways to distract him from following and fulfilling God’s vision and what we can learn from his experiences. How can we all follow Jesus on this journey of listening throughout this season of Lent? What practices can help us on this journey? We hope you will join us as we seek to listen and respond to all that God is inviting us to do.
This week, we explore these reflection questions:
What lies do you believe about who you are?
What lies do you believe about God?
How does God’s truth help you leave these lies behind?
SCRIPTURE PASSAGE: Luke 4:1-4 (NIV)
