The Forty Day Battle

      Atonement Lutheran Church

 The Sundays in Lent

The 40 days of Lent are modeled after Jesus’ 40 day battle against Satan in the wilderness after His Baptism.

The spiritual war had begun. Talk of “spiritual warfare” usually draws instant interest in the Church.

One of our favorite Lutheran hymns, A Mighty Fortress, is filled with the language of spiritual warfare.

During the season of Lent we are going to test some assumptions that spiritual soldiers make and arm ourselves with biblical understanding during our 40 day battle for the truth.
