Ice Breaker What is something positive that has come out of the “Safer at Home” experience so far? Opening Question What stood out to you from the weekend message? Was there a scripture, principle, or action step that has stuck with you? Scripture Read Matthew 3:13 – 4:11 This passage covers the baptism and temptation of Jesus.

Why are all of these elements essential to Jesus beginning his ministry?

What does it mean for Jesus to fulfill all righteousness?

What’s the importance of publicly announcing the beginning of his ministry?

Why did Jesus need to identify with man’s sin?

Why did Jesus want his followers to be baptized? (See Matthew 28:19)

Read Deuteronomy 8:3, 6:16, 6:13 Jesus faced three temptations, each time he responded with scripture. What does this tell us about Jesus?

What can we learn from his example? Why is it important for us to deal with temptation in the same manner of Jesus? “Don’t just GO through this season, GROW through this season.” Garrett gave five things we see Jesus doing that we can immediately apply to our lives. 1.

Jesus moved from identity (who God says we are) In the time you have remaining, discuss how you can implement the ways of Jesus into your life.
