January Week 1

We start with a crucial moment from Jesus’ life, found
in Luke 4:1-13. After Jesus’ baptism, He went to the
wilderness to fast and spend time with God and prepare
for ministry. While Jesus was in the wilderness, the devil
tempted Him. Jesus was prepared for this. Even though
Jesus was tired and hungry, Jesus used what He knew
from Scripture to fend off the temptation.

Bottom Line: Be ready to do the right thing. When it
comes to self-control, it’s important to understand the
moments when having self-control might be difficult. It’s
also important to have a plan for when those moments
might happen. We pray that kids will leave knowing they
can trust God to help them show self-control.
