What is temptation? This Lenten sermon explores how temptation isn’t just about doing wrong—it’s often about being enticed to avoid doing what is right. Looking at Jesus’ time in the wilderness, we see that the real battle is for our desires. Will we be ruled by fear, or led by the Holy Spirit? When fear governs us, our desires turn inward. But when the Spirit leads us, our lives are shaped by trust, sacrifice, and love.
