All of us have experienced loss. Grief can cause doubt to creep in: did we take a wrong turn somewhere? Today we read Matthew 4:1-11, in which Jesus is tested in the wilderness and has these same feelings. In this week’s sermon, Pastor Travis guides us through the ways this passage can help us in our own lives. Listen until the end to reaffirm your faith and enter into the spirit of Lent.
