This week's Scripture readings are Genesis 2:15-17; 3:1-7 and Matthew 4:1-11. On this first Sunday of Lent, we begin our theme "Seeking: Honest Questions for Deeper Faith" by looking at two stories of temptation. First, we hear the familiar Genesis story of Adam and Eve tempted by the serpent in the Garden of Eden, then from Matthew’s gospel we read about Jesus being tempted in the wilderness by Satan. In the face of temptation, our readings this week ask, “Who will you listen to?”Will you listen to the lies of this world, the lies that draw us away from God’s love toward both the false hope of self-reliance and the fear of inadequacy and unworthiness? Or will you listen to the truth revealed by Jesus, the truth that you are a beloved child of God, totally reliant on God’s never-failing love and grace?Learn more about Christ the King Lutheran Church in Port Washington and Living Hope Lutheran in Saukville, Wisconsin at https://www.livinghopesaukville.org/ or https://ctkport.org/.
