Reading from The Gospel According Matthew 4:1-11 (NLT) ~The Temptation of Jesus~ Scripture reading followed by discussion. This scripture reveals to us the tactics of the enemy. Tempting us to respond out of our lizard brain, hoping we will not think it through. Jesus shifts the focus back to what is true, important, and necessary for life. The enemy takes truth and uses it in a way that is contrary to the heart of God. The enemy will challenge our identity and God’s love for us.
