Satan and the Son of God stood on the southeastern wall of the temple, more than a hundred feet above the Kidron Valley, and Satan told Jesus to jump into the arms of God.
Jesus refused, not because God wouldn't catch him. He refused because he didn't have anything to prove to anyone, much less the Devil. Neither do you.
In church, of all places, Satan will do with you what he did with Jesus. He will urge you to do tricks; to impress others with your service, make a show of your faith, or call attention to your good deeds.
Satan loves to turn church assemblies into Las Vegas presentations where people show off their abilities rather than boast in God's. Don't be suckered!
You don't have anything to prove.
