SERMON NOTES/REFLECTION

I. LIVING IN THE WORLD
a. Do you feel you are often alone in your struggles and seasons of suffering?
b. Do you believe God knows what you are going through?
c. What temptations seem to show up at times you feel weak?
d. Why does God allow such temptations/testings to fall upon His children in Christ?

II. ABIDING IN THE WORD
a. Read: Lk.22:31-34;Jn.16:13-15; Rom.5:3-5,6:16-19,12:1-2; Eph.6:17;Phil.3:8-10;Heb.4:12-15;5:7;1Pet.5:8;1Jn.1:9
b. What verses stand out to you? How might God be speaking to you through these verses?
c. Do you remember how Jesus was able to resist the devil when tempted in the desert? This is the same spiritual weapon God places into your hands as well (Eph. 6:17; Heb. 4:12).
d. How did Satan attack Peter's faith? What did Jesus do about it?
e. What do you think Peter learned about himself when he denied Jesus three times?

III. GROWING IN THE WAY
a. What is Satan demanding of you? Where are your weak points he will aim to tempt you in? (Remember the devil's aim is for you to lack trust and obedience to God?)
b. Praise God we have his grace so we may be forgiven which allows us to grow stronger in our spirit by His Spirit working in us (1 Jn. 1:9)!
c. Pray for the Spirit to help to equip and empower you to fight against the schemes of the devil.

God bless!
