Elementary // Contentment Week 1

Memory Verse:

Defintion

Contentment: Being satisfied with God

Teaching Truth

Jesus was content knowing God was His provider

Questions to Ask Your Child

READ LUKE 4:1-13

  1. How did Satan try to tempt Jesus? How did Jesus respond every time?

  2. How did Jesus trust that God was His provider? How has God provided for you?

  3. What can you remember is true about God when you’re tempted to not be content with how He made you, not believe He gives you what you need, or when things seem out of control? How can you practice being satisfied with God?

Activity

While driving your kids to school or around town ask them to think of things they need, not want (Examples: food, shelter, family, etc.). How has God taken care of your specific needs? Take time to specifically thank God for each need that God has provided for today.
