Teaching Jesus calls the fishermen to follow

When we're tempted to do wrong, we can stand strong like Jesus did - by holding tight to God's Word.

  • Jesus was tempted to do wrong, but He used God's Word to stay strong. How can knowing the Bible help us when we're tempted?
  • Every time the devil tried to trick Him, Jesus said, "It is written..." Why is knowing God's Word like having a strong shield?
  • Jesus said, "Follow Me," and the fishermen left everything right away. What do you think it means to follow Jesus?
