Elevate Sunday Follow Up - Lesson 29


Dear Parents,
Hello again! We’re already on our twenty-ninth week of our year-long trek through the Bible called “The Thread.” Remember this study shows that all of Scripture is united in one message: God’s redemptive work throughout the generations as ultimately revealed in Jesus Christ.

This week, the lesson was entitled “Temptation of Jesus,” and it focused on helping students better handle the temptations of life. Students learned that Jesus was tempted in every imaginable way, and because He can empathize with our struggle, He looks on us with mercy and grace. Instead of rejecting us in our sinful state, He loves us. God always provides a way for us to resist temptation.

We looked at the following Scripture passages:
  • Luke 4:1-13
  • Hebrews 4:14-16

As you have time, dig into these scriptures. Explore their relevance in your life and how that might be significant to your student.

Next Steps . . .
During the week set aside a few moments to discuss these questions with your teenager:
·         You talked in youth group about the idea that trusting God 100% makes it easier to resist temptation.  What experiences or ideas keep you from trusting Him all the way?
·         What experiences have you had that reinforce your trust in God?
·         How does it make you feel when you read in Hebrews that you can approach God with confidence?

I hope this resource is a useful tool for you and your student. If you have any questions about anything, please feel free to contact me.
