Junior / Adult — Week 31

What Would Jesus Do?
Walking in Compassion and Sacrificial Love

The Cross
Open Lesson Plan → Open Handout →

This lesson considers two essential questions: What has Jesus done for us, and what would Jesus do in our place today? When we reflect on Christ's sacrifice on the cross, our hearts are moved toward compassion for those who are struggling, lonely, or in need[cite: 32].

Poem — Gifts of Charity:[cite: 32]

Lord, open up my eyes to see Your purpose and Your plan;[cite: 32]
Take hold my hand and lead me to the hungry of this land.[cite: 32]
When I can see someone in need and know I can do more,[cite: 32]
Open my mind to understand the way to help the poor.[cite: 32]

GOD Bless You All. : )

Grades 3–6 — Week 31

Moses: Taking a Stand
The Life of Moses — Lesson 2 (by Lisa DeVinney)

Moses
Open Lesson Plan → Open Handout → More Grade 3–6 Lessons →

Author’s Notes: As an adult in Pharaoh’s household, Moses faced a decisive choice: whether to enjoy the fleeting comforts of royalty or identify with the suffering people of God[cite: 32]. Choosing God's side often requires standing up for righteousness even when it carries personal cost[cite: 32].

Weekly Challenge:[cite: 32]

Be willing to choose God's side and stand up for what is right this week, even if others tease or oppose you[cite: 32]. “Choose you this day whom ye will serve!” (Joshua 24:15)[cite: 32]

Opening Prayer: We ask God to open our eyes and ears to His Word as we learn how Jesus listens with compassion to our deepest needs[cite: 32].

Bible Discussion (John 5:1–15):[cite: 32]
  1. Who waited near the waters of Bethesda hoping to be made whole[cite: 32]?
  2. What question did Jesus ask the lame man (“Wilt thou be made whole?”)[cite: 32]?
  3. What command did Jesus give: “Rise, take up thy bed, and walk” (vs. 8)[cite: 32]?
  4. Whose name did the man proclaim when people asked who healed him (vs. 15)[cite: 32]?

Close in Prayer.[cite: 32]
