Season Themes: Jesus is Powerful – Miracles and parables Listening and Obeying – Elijah, Elisha, Isaiah and Amos
Sessions 1-6: Jesus is Powerful The earthly ministry of Jesus is characterized by his powerful miracles, as well as his bold claims to be God’s Son and his amazing parables. The power of God accompanies his words, and many are healed – the blind, the lame, the deaf, those suffering various diseases and demonic possession, not to mention the ones who are raised from the dead! These sessions help you and the young people in your care explore the long-ranging effect of the power of Jesus.
