Temptation of christ contemporary oil painting

26 February - 4 March 2023

Take temptation seriously

Matthew 4.1-11

As he prepares to begin his ministry, during a time alone in the wilderness, Jesus is tested. Where will he put his faith? What will he trust? Where do his deepest loyalties lie?

Jesus showed that, faced with temptation, he could be trusted to do the right thing; we explore how we respond when we are tested, and whom we can trust when facing life’s challenges.

This week we explore discovering who you are and who you trust in testing times.
