Beating Temptation

Beating Temptation

Play:  Tell your kids that you are going to try to capture them and if you do then their job is to try to get out of your grip.  You can reverse the roles as well.

Relay:  Temptation is the desire to do something wrong. Because of Adam and Eve, all people are born with the natural desire (or want) to do wrong.  Even as Christians we are sometimes tempted to do bad things.  However, the Bible tells us that God is a faithful God and He will not let us be tempted more than we can handle.  This means that no matter what, God makes it to where we are strong enough to say, “no” to temptation.  Not only that, but God also promises that He will provide a way out, meaning we will never be stuck in a tempting situation.

Obey:   

What is a temptation?

What two things will God do to help you in times of temptation?

What is a temptation you have had this week?

How can God help you in that situation?

Pray: Ask God to help you face temptation with courage, knowing that He will help you.

Scripture of the Day:  1 Corinthians 10:13

No temptation has overtaken you except what is common to mankind. And God is faithful; he will not let you be tempted beyond what you can bear. But when you are tempted, he will also provide a way out so that you can endure it.
