1 Baptism and Temptation of Jesus: Apostles Arcade Lesson Worksheet Jan 20, 2013 (Outline of the Lesson) Concept: Evil exists in the world. Although human, Jesus did not give into temptation he was obedient to God. Sometimes we are tempted to disobey God. When tempted, we can call on God and turn to God s word for help. Objectives: 1. Older children will locate the stories of Jesus baptism and temptation in their Bibles. Younger children will learn that the story is in Matthew. 2. The children will read or hear the story. 3. The children will play a game that illustrates looking to Scripture for help in times of temptation.

2 Teacher preparation in advance: 1. Read the scripture passages and attend the Faith Quest Leaders Bible Study. 2. Prepare opening and closing prayers. 3. Optional: Bring a CD or taped music for background music while you are gathering, meditative music for Reflection time. A boom box is located in the Worm Hole cabinet. 4. Write the memory verse on poster board or display it in the room some other way (it is always on the cover of the reflection journals). 5. Write the Bible verses for the game on large pieces of paper. Tape them to the wall as described in the lesson plan. Use masking tape so you don t damage the wall. 6. Familiarize yourself with the buzzer system All Materials available at the church: Bibles (in the Joyful Noise Room) Pencils (in supply bin; the shepherds also have pencils) Bible verses written on large sheets of paper Masking tape Buzzer box INSTRUCTIONAL PROCESS Introducing the Lesson: 1. Greet the children and introduce yourself, and remember you are interacting students who may not know you. 2. Open with a brief prayer 3. Explain the purpose of this workshop. Today we re going to learn how to resist temptation the way Jesus did. Bible Story: 1. Make sure everybody has a Bible. The shepherds will have extra Bibles. Help the students to find the book of Matthew. (Get the shepherds to go around the room and help with this.) 2. If necessary, review the organization of the Bible: The Bible is divided into two big parts, the Old and New Testaments. Each part is made up of books, which are divided into chapters and verses. Have them figure out whether Matthew is in the Old or New Testament (it s about Jesus so it s in NEW Testament). Show them that if they open their Bible in the middle, they ll usually land in the book of Psalms in the OT. Point out that the book name is at the top of each page. After finding Psalms, if they then take the pages on the right side and divide them in half, they ll land somewhere near the beginning of the New Testament. Remind them that the first four books of the NT are Matthew, Mark, Luke, John. 3. After they ve found Matthew, help them find chapter 3, then verse 13. Some of the children will confuse chapters and verses. Show them that chapter numbers are the big ones, and also are at top of every page. 4. Read the story or review it using the summary below as a guide. Either way, be dramatic! Unless this is the first Sunday of the rotation, let the children help you tell the story. This will give you an idea of how much they already know. Other ideas for reviewing the story include: Begin the story and let each person in the circle add one line to the story until it is complete. Variation for older kids: Use the timer in the supply bin (or just a watch with a second hand). First child starts telling the story. After 15 seconds, second student picks up the tale, even if in mid-sentence. Keep going around circle until complete story is told. Tell the story back to them with inaccuracies and let them correct you. (especially fun for the younger ones -- Baptism and Temptation of Jesus Apostles Arcade Lesson Page 2
3 Story Summary Before Jesus began his ministry, he went to the Jordan River and was baptized by John the Baptist. Afterwards, the Holy Spirit led Jesus into the desert. In the desert, Jesus went without eating for forty days and nights, and he was VERY hungry. Then the devil came to him and said, "If you are God's Son, tell these stones to turn into bread." Jesus answered, "The Scriptures say: No one can live only on food. People need every word that God has spoken.' " Next, the devil took Jesus to the holy city and had him stand on the highest part of the temple. The devil said, "If you are God's Son, jump off. The Scriptures say: `God will give his angels orders about you. They will catch you in their arms, and you won't hurt your feet on the stones.' " Jesus answered, "The Scriptures also say, `Don't try to test the Lord your God!' " Finally, the devil took Jesus up on a very high mountain and showed him all the kingdoms on earth and their power. The devil said to him, "I will give all this to you, if you will bow down and worship me." Jesus answered, "Go away Satan! The Scriptures say: `Worship the Lord your God and serve only him.' " Then the devil left Jesus, and angels came to help him. Application: 1. Ask: a. What did Jesus do when he was tempted? He quoted Scripture that contradicted the devil s suggestions. b. We can do the same thing when we re tempted to do something wrong. We can look to the Bible for guidance. And now we re going to play a game where we practice doing that. 2. See end of lesson plan for three lists of Bible verses and corresponding situations. Each Bible verse should be written on a separate piece of paper large enough for the class to read when it is taped to the wall. Use them in the lists and order given. a. Buzzer option: Have the buzzer box on a table. Have the three stacks of Bible verses posted on the wall behind the table so everybody can see them. Divide the kids into four lines (they re not on teams, just lining up to take their turn. Don t keep score.) The first player in each line holds a buzzer. 3. Read the three verses, then explain: I m going to read a situation where you might be tempted to do something wrong. One of these Bible verses can help you. If you think you know which verse applies to this situation, press your buzzer. 4. After you read the situation, the first to buzz gets to give the answer. Be sure they answer quickly; don t let them buzz and then figure out the answer. (If you don t know who buzzed first, look for the color with both lights on. See details of how to work buzzer system at end of lesson plan.) 5. Discuss the answer if necessary, then have those players go to the end of their line. Repeat with the next four players. As in the voting game, on any given turn you can pick a situation from any of the three lists, but don t mix up the order within each list. Keep playing until you run out of Bible verses or time. Make sure everybody gets a turn. Reflection Journals: 1. Gather the children back into a circle and discuss: a. What do you think the devil is like? Accept all answers, then tell them: Baptism and Temptation of Jesus Apostles Arcade Lesson Page 3
4 b. Some people believe that the devil is a specific person or an evil spirit or a bad angel. Other people think the devil is not a real person but is a symbol that represents the evil in the world. When you go home today, ask your parents what they believe. 2. Now tell me again, when Jesus was tempted, what did he do? He quoted Scripture. So he must have really known the Scripture well, and that shows how important it is for us to study the Bible so we can remember it when we need help. 3. But here s something else that s important: a. When the devil tried to get Jesus to jump off the temple, do you remember what he said? The devil quoted Scripture to tell Jesus that angels would catch him! b. Sometimes people misuse the Bible by looking for passages that support their position. It s not enough just to read the Bible; we need to study it with an open heart and ask God to help us understand the truth. 4. It s not always easy to do the right thing, and sometimes it s not easy to know what the right thing is. It wasn t easy for Jesus either, but he set an example for us to follow. Let s think about that while we recite the Bible memory verse. Jesus understands every weakness of ours, because he was tempted in every way that we are. But he did not sin! Hebrews 4:15 (CEV) 5. Pass out the Reflection Journals and ask the shepherds to pass out pencils/markers a. How was Jesus tempted? b. Write or draw how you are tempted and what you can do to avoid temptation. 6. Ask the students to close their journals and sit quietly. Concluding: 1. Pray! Close with a brief prayer. Suggestion: Read this prayer from Psalm 139 that asks God to help us resist temptation: Have the children repeat each line after you. Look deep into my heart, God, and find out everything I am thinking. Don't let me follow evil ways, but lead me in the way that time has proven true. Tidy and Dismissal: Ask children to help pick up pencils, Bibles, game materials, etc. When the room is tidy, dismiss the class. Extra Activity Grades 3-5: If you have extra time, play "who can find the passage first." Call out verses for the students to search and read when they find them -- do this in pairs if you wish. Suggestions: Other accounts of Jesus baptism: Mark 1:1-11 Luke 3:21-22 John 1: Other accounts of the temptation: Mark 1:12-13 Luke 4:1-13. References Jesus' Temptation - Alone in the Desert!
