Jesus meets...

This term in Flame and Blaze we are looking at the life of Jesus through the people Jesus encountered. We continued today by learning about when Jesus was tempted by Satan. We talked about how Jesus resisted temptation and quoted God’s truth – the Bible. We also discussed what temptation can look like for us and what can help us to do the right thing. This includes prayer and knowing God’s truth in the Bible.

The focus for follow up this week is to look at how we can learn some Bible verses. Learning scripture will help us to know the truth and be strong to obey. There are different ways that we can learn scripture and we started today with learning a verse through a song. Your child will also be bringing home an activity pack with some different activities for learning some scripture.

There are some other great kids songs which are scripture based on YouTube – why not check them out. I confess I’ve been listening to quite a bit of DumbRocks myself this last week:

The Rizers - YouTube (includes the John 3:16 song we have been learning this week)

DumbRocks Music - YouTube

I’m also attaching a sheet with some other scripture learning ideas on.

As well as learning scripture we want children to grow in how to apply it to their lives. The best way of them doing this is as you model to them the use of Scripture to actually solve our problems and encourage us. When your children have questions, problems, concerns, or even just need a reminder, open the Bible and talk through it. Show them how to ‘google’ an answer (use the concordance). And take time to discuss what the verses you’re learning mean.
