Jesus is Tempted [y3_w04]

Jesus is led into the wilderness by the Spirit (right after he is baptized) and is there (both physically and symbolically) for 40 days and 40 nights. He is hungry, tired and worn. And the devil, the tempter, comes to Jesus in his human weakness and tempts him.

I recently returned from a business trip in which I flew on an airplane. Coupled with some other "flight" experiences, I use the analogy of the wild blue wilderness in the sky to illustrate some practical aspects of life and temptation.

John the Baptist and Jesus' Baptism [y3_w03]

This week we find ourselves interacting with John the Baptist (JTB), the cousin of Jesus. The Main Street students grabbed their Bibles, turned to Mark 1, and read about who JTB was, what JTB talked about, and who JTB baptized. Talk about a passionately, wild man of God.

Birth of Jesus [y3_w01]

It's Christmas in the Fall! Main Street | Year 3 focuses on the New Testament and starts with the birth of Jesus.

This Sunday we used a couple of clips from the "Story Keepers" (a series of videos which chronicle the stories of the life of Jesus in a post-resurrection, new-church community Roman world).
