  • Jesus in the Wilderness

    Chris is tempted to play a violent video game that his parents have forbidden. Why not—it’s just a game, isn’t it? Buckle up for a high-speed adventure as Superbook takes Chris, Joy and Gizmo to ancient Israel. Witness how Jesus teaches in the Temple as a young boy, then resists Satan’s temptations in the wilderness as a grown man. Discover how the Word of God has power over every circumstance!

    *Be sure to preview the Bible story video for this course, as some imagery may be too intense for young children. If you wish to use a slightly less intense version, you can play Video 2 (Chris and Joy’s dilemma), Video 4 (the condensed Bible story), and Video 8 (Chris and Joy’s resolution). Also preview the Bible Background and the Signposts videos.
