Elementary Lesson • Week 3 of 4
Jan 18, 2026
A new invention is pretty great, but it needs lots of testing and use before we're willing to trust it completely. This week, we'll see how Jesus was tested in the wilderness and stayed true to God despite all of the temptations around him. Even when his relationship with God was under pressure, Jesus trusted God, and he showed us that we can, too.
BIG IDEA: Jesus trusted God.
BIBLE STORY: Jesus in the wilderness (Luke 4:1–13)
MEMORY VERSE: "Therefore God exalted him to the highest place and gave him the name that is above every name" (Philippians 2:9 NIV).
