934 | Coffee to Go | First Sunday of Lent | Year A

Hungry? How well would you hold up against temptation if you had been wandering in the wilderness for 40 days and someone offered you a loaf of bread? Be honest! Lent is here and, of course, it’s the time of year when we intentionally focus our life in relationship to life of Jesus, and consider the things that distract us from our covenant of discipleship. No wonder folks in the olden days covered themselves in sackcloth and ashes. Being honest with ourselves can be hard, and saying, “the devil made me do it,” will get you nowhere. Good thing we are loved by a gracious, merciful and forgiving God, huh?   More about Satan: Episode 569|Percolating on Faith/Satan. Recommended Book: The Quest for the Historical Satan by Miguel De la Torre and Albert Hernandez. Listen to more episodes in the Coffee to Go series. Download the Transcript. Thanks for listening to Faith Unfiltered!Follow us on Facebook and Instagram!Intro and Outro music used with permission: “For Everyone Born,” Community of Christ Sings #285.
