How to Fight Temptation | Learning to Follow Jesus | Luke 4.1-13

But it gives me great comfort to know that God is in this, that God is with me, even when I'm being tempted." It's tempting to think that God's abandoned us when we're struggling. That's what temptation is all about: separating us from God. But Luke 4 shows that God still walks with us, even when we don't feel His presence.
