Warm-up. What comes to mind when you hear about the devil, demons and spiritual warfare?
Read Matthew 4:1-17 Ask God to bless your study.
Which temptations would you say are most prevalent in our culture today? What are some specific ways you can battle ignorance and apathy toward spiritual warfare?
Explain the following statement: Jesus triumphed in the wilderness of temptation where Adam and Israel failed.
How is it that Jesus the Son of God has sympathy and empathy for us in all our temptations? How do Hebrews 2:18 and 4:15 shed light on this?
Of Satan's three temptations in this passage, which one do you struggle with the most? What attributes of God and his promises from Scripture help you best battle temptations?
How did Satan's temptations seek to undermine the purpose and power of the cross?
Explain how Jesus' triumph over temptation is both our example and the basis for our own victory in temptation. What is the danger if we only see Jesus as our example?
How does what God’s Word says about you in Christ now and your future reign with Christ affect your daily battle?
