Pastor Jay looks at the three temptations: appetite, ambition, and approval. Which one of these three do you wrestle with? In order for us to become what we want to be, we have to learn to let go of what we want in order to take up the things we need.

Scripture References: Luke 4:1-13

Much of what we think life is about in our suburban, upper middle class, American culture is not real. Wealth, power, status veil our true-selves thus creating hierarchies, competitions, fear, and anxiety. It we are to be "Wholly Unleashed", we need to "Get Real" and repent of the world's definitions for who we are so that we can embrace our true-identity as children of God.

Pastor Jay Gamelin reflects on the significance of Mary anointing Jesus' feet with very expensive perfume and how Judas reacts. When do we miss the bigger picture of joy in our lives because we are too focused elsewhere? Where are you putting too much energy that it is starting to consume your joy?
