The Good Samaritan

Lesson: While we were God's enemies, Christ died for us

1. Story:

• Tell story based on Luke 10:25-35.

2. Lesson:

• In Jesus’ parable: it was not the religious and “good” people who stopped to help the Jewish man. It was the enemy — a despised Samaritan. The Jews hated the Samaritans.
• The Samaritan could have walked on, and nobody would fault him for that. But he had compassion for the man. He cleaned and bandaged his wounds. Put him on his donkey and paid for his care at the inn.
• Who would do that for an enemy? Somebody who hated you? Who wouldn’t walk on the same side of the road as you?

Because of Jesus, I am a CHILD of GOD (Eph 1)

1.       Lesson

Eph 1:3-6 Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who has blessed us with every spiritual blessing in the heavenly places in Christ, just as He chose us in Him before the foundation of the world, that we should be holy and without blame before Him in love, having predestined us to adoption as sons by Jesus Christ to Himself, according to the good pleasure of His will, to the praise of the glory of His grace, by which He made us accepted in the Beloved.

• Introduction:
• Last month, we learnt that we are SAINTS of GOD. Because of Jesus, God looks at us as if we were holy and righteous.
•  Today, we look at what God has done so that we can be called Sons & Daughters of God

Jesus feeds the 5,000 +++

Lesson: Jesus provides in abundance (Luke 9:10-17)

1. Story:

• Props: Some bread and “fish” (either fish-shaped biscuits or kueh bahulu) that can be handed out as part of the story
• Jesus and his disciples went to a town called Bethsaida, which was a remote place. But when the crowds heard he was there, they all followed him.
• Jesus welcomed them. He spoke to them about God’s kingdom and healed all who needed healing. There were about 5,000 men and many other women and children there … a very big crowd.
• Late in the afternoon, his disciples came to him and told him to send the crowd away to go find food and a place to stay because it was getting late.
•  Instead, Jesus asked them to give the crowd something to eat.
•  There were probably more than 10,000 people! How do you feed so many people?
