Teach students how to spot cultural lies and trust God’s truth using Matthew 4:1-11, in this one-off lesson.

Details

“Empty Promises” is a one-off lesson designed to help students discern the lies culture and the enemy throw at them; lies that offer identity, control, and comfort apart from God. This resource walks students through Matthew 4:1-11, where Jesus was tempted by Satan in the wilderness, offering a compelling and relatable teaching on how to recognize and resist the enemy’s counterfeit offers.

Students today are surrounded by false narratives that promise worth, love, or purpose if they just perform, conform, or compromise. “Empty Promises” empowers students to identify those lies and instead anchor themselves in the truth of God’s Word, just as Jesus did.

This message will challenge your students to stop settling for what’s fake and start chasing what’s true, leading them toward deeper trust in God.

About this Product
Before teaching, take time to identify modern “empty promises” your specific students are likely facing: social media validation, performance pressure, or image obsession, so your application hits close to home.
