“Sifted, Saved, and Strengthened” (3/30/14)

Pastor Blaik J. Westhoff
Luke 22:1-46
1. Have you ever had the worst in you brought out for all to see?

2. The enemy wants to sift you too! Lets expose satan’s plan! What
are some tactics satan tries to use against you?

3. Jesus tells Peter that after the sifting, he can actually
strengthen the other disciples. The same can be true for Christian
leaders today. How does that work? There are 4 ways.
a.
b.
c.
d.

Further Study:
1 Corinthians 10:13
1. Why do you think God allows us to deal with temptation?

2. How can we stay one step ahead of temptation? James 1:12 says
“Blessed is the one who perseveres under trial because, having stood
the test, that person will receive the crown of life that the Lord has
promised to those who love him.”

3. Jesus understands exactly what we’re facing in temptation. Hebrews
4:15 says “For we do not have a high priest who is unable to empathize
with our weaknesses, but we have one who has been tempted in every
way, just as we are–yet he did not sin.” What is your plan going
forward in resisting temptation?
