Scripture Lesson:

 

Into The Wilderness

The Test – Part 2

Week #4

 

  1. The devil has many tricks up his sleeve.

 

Then the devil took him to the holy city and had him stand on the highest point of the temple. “If you are the Son of God,” he said, “throw yourself down. For it is written: “‘He will command his angels concerning you, and they will lift you up in their hands so that you will not strike your foot against a stone.’”                                     – Matthew 4:5-6

 

  1. Jesus is not phased.

 

Jesus answered him, “It is also written: ‘Do not put the Lord your God to the test.’” – Matthew 4:7

 

Points To Ponder

 

  1. Have you ever felt beaten down from constantly receiving bad news? Are you presently experiencing a prolonged season of spiritual attack? If so, share how you have felt, or are feeling, during these attacks.

 

  1. When have you seen Scripture twisted or used out of context to validate someone’s opinion? How was the Scripture used incorrectly in these cases? What was the outcome?

 

  1. Has the pride of life ever led you to be dissatisfied with the many blessings and freedoms God has given you?

 

  1. Would you consider yourself able to discern the difference between Scripture and a half-truth? What are some tips you use to tell the difference?

 

  1. Have you ever asked God for a sign to lead you in an important decision? What sign did you ask for? How did God answer, or not answer, your request?
