Bringing It Home 1/9

Hello Parentz Express
Below is a brief summary, main verses and a few discussion questions you can use to reinforce what we're learning this Sunday. I hope this can be a meaningful tool for you to help your children apply what they learn in Kidz Express.

What's the Deal with Fasting?
Matt. 4:1-2 "Then Jesus was led by the Spirit into the wildness to be tempted by the devil. After fasting forty days and forty nights, he was hungry." First of all, can you imagine not eating for almost a month and a half? Jesus definitely didn’t live an easy life, but he knew that Got had a big plan for His life; to be the savior of all. Jesus knew He had to obey his Father even though it was scary tough. Fasting and praying is much like planting and watering a seed. It takes hard work and tender care, but just like all plants, God is the one who makes something happen, we just need to be faithful in the watering/praying...

Verse:
Matt. 4:1-2
"Then Jesus was led by the Spirit into the wildness to be tempted by the devil. After fasting forty days and forty nights, he was hungry."

Discussion Qs:
1. What sort of battles do you need to prepare for?
2. What is one thing you are going to pray for during our fast? It can be for something or someone.
3. How is fasting and prayer like planting and watering a seed?
