  1. Welcome to Friday Night Bible Study

  2. What is something that you will give up for Lent? How does that affect the amount of time you spend with God? Does this stop you from spending the amount of time you want to with God? Or does it make you want to hide from God?

  3. How much time do you normally spend with God each day? Is it the amount you want to, or just the minimum? What is inhibiting you from spending the wanted amount of time with God?

  4. Jesus Is Tested in the Wilderness Then Jesus was led by the Spirit into the wilderness to be temptedby the devil. 2 After fasting forty days and forty nights, he was hungry. 3 The tempter came to him and said, “If you are the Son of God, tell these stones to become bread.” 4Jesus answered, “It is written: ‘Man shall not live on bread alone, but on every word that comes from the mouth of God.’” 5Then the devil took him to the holy city and had him stand on the highest point of the temple. 6 “If you are the Son of God,” he said, “throw yourself down. For it is written: “‘He will command his angels concerning you,    and they will lift you up in their hands,    so that you will not strike your foot against a stone.’”

  5. 7 Jesus answered him, “It is also written: ‘Do not put the Lord your God to the test.’” 8 Again, the devil took him to a very high mountain and showed him all the kingdoms of the world and their splendor. 9 “All this I will give you,” he said, “if you will bow down and worship me.” 10 Jesus said to him, “Away from me, Satan! For it is written: ‘Worship the Lord your God, and serve him only.’” 11 Then the devil left him, and angels came and attended him.

  6. So what can you replace with what you gave up? How does replacing it help? What can you do when you’re exhausted to resist giving in?

  7. Here are some Bible verses about temptation: Watch and pray so that you will not fall into temptation. The spirit is willing, but the body is weak. Matthew 26:41 On reaching the place, he said to them, "Pray that you will not fall into temptation." Luke 22:40

  8. When he rose from prayer and went back to the disciples, he found them asleep, exhausted from sorrow. "Why are you sleeping?" he asked them. "Get up and pray so that you will not fall into temptation." Luke 22:45-46 12 So, if you think you are standing firm, be careful that you don’t fall! 13 No temptation[c] has overtaken you except what is common to mankind. And God is faithful; he will not let you be tempted[d] beyond what you can bear. But when you are tempted,[e] he will also provide a way out so that you can endure it. 1 Corinthians 10:12-13
