Text:  Luke 4:1-44

Sermon in a sentence:  Of course God wants to do something amazing in your life this year—just don't expect it to be easy!
                                    


Three preparations you should make for the challenges of the coming year—

#1  Be prepared to have your impurities brought to the surface—verses 1-13.

 

 

       

#2  Be prepared to face resistance—verses 14-37.

  • Human misunderstanding—verses 14-30.

  • Spiritual warfare—verses 31-37

 

       

#3  Be prepared to have to listen carefully for God's direction—verses 38-44.

 

       Just because you CAN do something doesn't mean that you SHOULD!
