2. Bishop Justus Church of England School
Morning Worship
Temptation
22nd February 2018
Bishop Justus Church of England School

3. Let the light of Christ shine in our lives
Gather
The Lord be with you
And also with you
Let the light of Christ shine in our lives

4. Receive
Jesus, full of the Holy Spirit, returned from the Jordan and was led by the Spirit in the wilderness, where for forty days he was tempted by the devil. He ate nothing at all during those days, and when they were over, he was famished.
From the Gospel according to Luke, chapter 4, verses 1 and 2

5. Engage
During the Christian season of Lent we remember the account of Jesus being tempted in the wilderness.
Away from any other support Jesus had to rely on what he had been taught and his relationship with God.
He was hungry and tired yet he continued to believe in God no matter what temptations were put to him.

6. Engage Video suggestion … Jesus is tempted
Some discussion ideas …
What tempts you from doing what you know to be right?
What do you use to help resist temptation?
Discussion techniques - Go back to the Bible passage ask “How does the theme link with the Bible passage?”
Discuss the question in pairs for 30 seconds then invite a response from each pair.
Use quick-fire answers e.g. throw a soft bean bag / toy to a student, when they answer they throw it back and you quickly throw to another student.
Simplify the question - Invite quick one-word answers, write them on the board, then reflect on the answers – see connections.
Activity suggestion … Keep a personal diary for Lent. Record one good deed that you have done every day.

7. Respond Amen God, Help us to resist any temptation
[Reflect for a minute on the worship theme and our engagement …]
God,
Help us to resist any temptation
that may lead us away from doing good
or into doing something that may harm us.
Amen
Prayer / reflection technique – Give a summary of the theme and any responses that students may have made, then invite everyone to be still (remind no books open etc – lessen distraction). To pray or reflect on today’s worship. Be quiet for one minute. Then say the prayer …

8. Go out into the world with the light of Christ
Let us bless the Lord
Thanks be to God
Go out into the world with the light of Christ
