What a temptation
Children's sermon
Object:
a candy bar and a piece of fruit
Good morning, boys and girls. Does anyone know what a
temptation is? (Let them answer.) Here's a temptation. Imagine
that you're finished eating dinner. But you haven't had dessert.
Your parents offer you some fruit for dessert. Instead, you want
a piece of candy. (Hold up the candy and the fruit.) You are
tempted to have the candy, but you know that the fruit is better
for you. The candy is a real temptation, isn't it? Have any of
you ever had that temptation? (Let them answer.) This candy
temptation reminds me of today's Bible story about Jesus. Jesus
went into the wilderness.
