Dr. Chris Croghan is back to break down the well-known account of Jesus being tempted by the devil in the wilderness. You've likely heard how the devil tried to accomplish this: turn this stone into bread, worship me and I'll give you all the kingdoms of the world, and throw yourself from the top of the temple — God will send angels to save you. 

Questions Adam, Kiri and Mason ask:

• If Jesus was fully human, how could he have lived for 40 days in the wilderness?
• What are examples of the devil saying the thing he says most often, "Did God really say?"
• How do you preach this text?

Dr. Croghan provides key insights into this week's text including the significance of the 40 days in the wilderness, how the devil truly operates, and how Jesus responds to the devil questioning God's word.
