As we enter the new year, we are believing for God’s purpose to be activated in every life. Whether you are beginning a new journey of purpose and calling or finding fresh fire for one already underway, we will be studying the beginning of Jesus’ ministry in Luke 2-5 to discover how His Spirit-filled purpose becomes active in us. In today’s sermon, we will Face The Forge as we study the temptations of Jesus in Luke 4:1-15. Before Jesus’ ministry was activated, He was forged through testing—and testing is necessary for us also.
