Sermon Notes

1.) (1-4) Jesus knows and we would do well to observe: don’t simply maintain your life when you could enrich your life with God.

2.) (5-7) We do not need to test God. However, we do need to take time to prepare; life will bring plenty of its own tests.

3.) (8-10) Jesus was prepared: Jesus' power, ministry, and life are what God has bestowed so that he is equipped to serve. Consider how lent is a season of preparation for you.

4.) (11) Evil retreats when it holds no power over you. During this Lenten season, seek to be empowered by God!
