Sunday
“That slippery snake”
-
Mystery Box –
rubber snake
-
Who is afraid of
snakes?
o lots of hands went up!
o they are scary, big, they might bite you; you could
die
-
That concern goes
way back in time, to the Garden of Eden
-
Everything changed
o because of a sneaky little snake called Satan
-
The snake
tempted, lied to Eve that eating the fruit would make them
like
God
o Eve took the bait
-
Adam and Eve were
kicked out of the garden
-
The snake was
destined to crawl on her belly
-
The snake, Satan,
still seeks to tempt us
-
Jesus was tempted
in the wilderness
o Satan took him to the top of the temple
o Satan showed him all the kingdoms of earth
o Satan offered to turn a stone into bread
-
All Jesus had to
do was to worship Satan
-
Three times Jesus
said no
-
Jesus relied on
scripture, on the Word of God, to answer Satan
-
One of the kids
said, “I know why he is a snake, because he rolls around in the dirt.
-
Ray said that
they should have remembered, “Don’t listen to talking snakes.”
-
Prayer that we
will remember to rely on God’s Word to defeat the temptations of Satan.
