Hungry for More | Tested & True | Week 1

Before Jesus ever preached a sermon or performed a miracle, He was tested. In this message, we explore the first temptation Jesus faced in the wilderness — turning stones into bread — and how it speaks to our own battles with comfort, control, and craving. What do you reach for when life wears you down?

Pastor Chad unpacks how Jesus overcame the lust of the flesh not through willpower, but through the Word. If you're in a season of exhaustion or temptation, this message is a powerful reminder that testing doesn’t come to shame you — it comes to shape you.

Discussion Questions:
1. What’s your go-to comfort when you're tired or stressed — a food, a show, a routine? Why do you think that’s become your default?
2. What stands out to you in Jesus’ response to temptation? Why do you think it's significant that He answered with Scripture rather than a miracle?
3. How do you currently discern whether you're in a season of testing or temptation? Can you share a recent moment where you may have misread what you were going through?
4. Jesus overcame by anchoring Himself in the Word. What would it practically look like for you to “feast on the Word” this week instead of just reacting to pressure?
5. Pick one person on your “3 Set Free” card or someone in your life who is chasing comfort or significance in the wrong places. Pray for them as a group.
