About the Curriculum Teaching was a key ingredient of Jesus’ instructions for the ongoing work of evangelizing and discipling all nations (Matthew 28:19). One of the ways pastors live out their calling is by equipping teachers who serve under their leadership with the skills and resources necessary to help ensure the transformative power of the gospel reaches everyone who attends a local church. Therefore, the selection of resources is critical to this calling.

Are your teaching tools…

Apostolic?

Good curriculum intentionally weaves key doctrines throughout teaching resources and student activities. That’s great when the curriculum is Apostolic. It’s harmful when the materials are not. Avoid doctrinal landmines by using Apostolic curriculum.

Systematic?

Ongoing teaching is the most effective way to ensure students are grounded in God’s Word. The systematic teaching plan of curriculum helps more thoroughly cover the whole of Scripture rather than leaving the gaps that sometimes occur when there is no overarching scope and sequence.

Easy to Use and a Time Saver?

Teaching tools that are biblically accurate, infused with creativity, and easy to use enable teachers to focus on spiritual preparation and building relationships with students rather than scrambling to find lesson content each week.

Affordable?

You get what you pay for. If you do the math and calculate the price of your time, you may be surprised to see that the work of creating your own material or reworking nonApostolic material is staggering. Let Apostolic designers, writers, and editors create solid material you can customize for your unique needs.

Frame

Scripture Focus: I Peter 2:24–25 he five Capernaum citizens were distraught as they eyed the house of Peter . It was packed full to overflowing, and the crowd spilled out into the courtyard as local believers were trying to get in .

They had received word that Jesus was there, preaching about the kingdom of Heaven . It was vital for these five men to find a way to Jesus, for one of the five was a paralytic and in need of healing . This man was weak and unable to move on his own . He relied on his four friends to carry him wherever he needed to travel .

Clearly, there was no way they were going to be able to get the man and his bed inside any of the doorways, much less get anywhere near any of the doors . An idea, crazy as it was, came to one of the friends . He directed their eyes to the flat tiled roof atop the house . One of the friends guided them all to the rooftop, where roof tiles were quickly dismantled and a hole was created big enough to fit the cot with the sick man still lying on it down into the house .

The newly created hole and the bed with a sick man being lowered into the room caused quite a distraction . The locals who witnessed this moment and the disciples who felt a responsibility to buffer the unnecessary distractions felt frustration at this disruption . Jesus first looked up to the four friends and was moved by their faith, as they peered down into the room to see what Jesus might do to their friend . He then turned His focus to the man on the bed and with authority declared, “Son, your sins are forgiven you” (Mark 2:5, NKJV) .

The unbelievable statement caused the scribes who were present to become cynical, silently accusing Jesus of blasphemy, for they knew only God could forgive sin . To their surprise, Jesus turned to where they were sitting in the room and confronted them . “Why do you reason about these things in your hearts? Which is easier, to say to the paralytic, ‘Your sins are forgiven you,’ or to say, ‘Arise, take up your bed and walk’?” (Mark 2:8–9, NKJV) . Jesus confronted their skepticism and then proved His power in one bold move . Looking at the scoffers He began, “But that you may know that the Son of Man has power on earth to forgive sins”—He said to the paralytic, “I say to you, arise, take up your bed, and go to your house” (Mark 2:10–11, NKJV) .

Immediately the man who had suffered paralysis due to his illness stood up, picked up his bed, and walked through the doorway, demonstrating both the saving and healing power of Jesus!

That day, Jesus proved His ability to forgive sin . In so doing, He showed that dealing with our eternal destiny was just as powerful as His ability to heal sickness—something only temporal!

O

f the four different categories of healing discussed in this series, spiritual healing is God’s first, and most important, priority in our lives . We were created to live in relationship with God . Everything was perfect in the Garden of Eden . Evil had not been experienced; everything was new and fresh . God met with Adam and Eve daily . However, in this seemingly perfect scenario, the serpent tempted Eve with what was forbidden . Temptation led to the Fall, which separated man from God . Where fulfillment once reigned, a gaping hole now existed in the hearts of men and women .

After God’s pronouncement of judgment on Adam, Eve, and the serpent, they were forced from the Garden to live in a new world . As a result, healing was needed, particularly spiritual healing, so God and man could have relationship again .

Icons indicate when a PowerPoint slide should be displayed, when a question should be asked and discussed, and when the class should be directed to the Personal Discipleship Guide, such as for fillin-the-blank answers to major lesson points.

Why do you think spiritual healing is important?

God’s plan was revealed immediately after the Fall.

As God pronounced judgment upon the serpent, He stated, “I will put enmity between you and the woman, and between your seed and her Seed; He shall bruise your head, and you shall bruise His heel” (Genesis 3:15, NKJV) .

As God’s Word reveals, God’s desire for relationship with humanity is very strong . Only a blood sacrifice could atone for sin; thus, God’s people had to regularly offer animal blood sacrifices under the Old Covenant in order to receive spiritual healing . However, a New Covenant was coming in which God would provide His own sacrifice to atone for sin forever . This provision for spiritual healing was what God prophesied to the serpent in the Garden of Eden .

The need for spiritual healing was the whole reason for a Messiah. John 3:16 records, “For God so loved the world that He gave His only Begotten Son” (John 3:16, NKJV) . From the moment of Adam and Eve’s departure from the Garden, everything began building to an appointment at Calvary between the Messiah and a cross! Under the Old Covenant, man could only experience spiritual healing by offering an animal sacrifice . But God intended His love to reach further than this .

A new way was being provided through which all people could be saved . We know Jesus came “to seek and to save that which was lost” (Luke 19:10, KJV) . God’s plan to overcome the disobedience of Adam and Eve in the Garden of Eden reaches to every life today!

Do you feel you are important to God? Why or why not?

Can you share how God’s spiritual healing has helped you?

As has already been stated, spiritual healing is how God bonds with us . At our core we are spiritual beings . We are created in God’s image and “God is a Spirit .” (See John 4:24 .) Though we have recorded accounts of God talking with Noah, Abraham, Jacob, and Moses, one-on-one, we see God’s desire to bond with His people grow to a larger level in the Book of Exodus .

God brought the Israelites into the wilderness to establish them as a people dedicated to Him . One of the ways He did this was through instructions given to Moses to “let them make me a sanctuary; that I may dwell among them” (Exodus 25:8, KJV) .

The Lord not only instructed them how the sanctuary was to be built, but also how they were to interact with the sanctuary . He even gave them specific instructions concerning where each of the twelve tribes were to camp in relation to the Tabernacle . This is the first time we see God making a way to dwell in the midst of His people .

Compared to today, what do you think it would have been like seeking spiritual healing in the Old Testament?

Throughout the Old Testament, the only people able to experience this type of healing were the Hebrews . Gentiles were unable to experience spiritual healing . However, in the New Testament Jesus brought about a paradigm shift through His teachings and ultimate act of sacrifice as the Messiah .

His sacrifice at Calvary allows all of us to experience spiritual healing.

In Isaiah 53:8, the Old Testament prophesies of the spiritual healing coming to all of us: “for the Over a thousand years later, Peter wrote of transgressions of My people He was striken” (NKJV) .

Jesus, “who Himself bore our sins in His own body on the tree” (I Peter 2:24, NKJV) .

In the next verse, Peter likened all of us to sheep who had wandered astray who have now been wonderfully saved by the Shepherd of our souls .

LESSON BIG IDEA: Because God is our healer, we can experience spiritual healing .

Though under the Old Covenant only the Hebrews were able to receive spiritual healing by bringing a sacrifice, only the tribe of Levi (from which the priests came) could experience the presence of God as they entered the Holy of Holies inside the Tabernacle one time a year . However, after Christ’s death at Calvary, a new way to receive spiritual healing was given . Through the Cross we were given the opportunity for our sins to be completely forgiven . No longer would sin reign in our mortal bodies, but we could be forever free!

Before His ascension, Jesus told His followers that they would be “baptized with the Holy Spirit,” which He described as “power .” (See Acts 1:5, 8 .) A few days later, while praying in an upper room, these followers experienced the initial outpouring of His Spirit with the evidence of speaking in other tongues . The promise of comfort and power in spiritual healing was miraculously being made available to both Jews and Gentiles alike .

Describe your personal Acts 2:38 experience.

Spiritual healing allows us to fully appreciate the other works of God in our lives. When we have received spiritual healing from a life of sin, we learn to appreciate the mercy and grace God shows us on a daily basis . Jesus demonstrated throughout His ministry that spiritual healing took priority over meeting any other needs of people . In the opening narrative of Jesus and the paralytic, Mark records how Jesus first forgave the man’s sin . The man had been brought to Him for physical healing, but Jesus was demonstrating to him and the rest of the crowd that day that His power was more far-reaching than just a physical healing . Instead, He touched the man’s eternal needs first .

Peter reminds us in I Peter 2:24 that we receive spiritual healing because Jesus died for us .

Spiritual healing is the most important healing that can occur in us. Mark emphasized this in his writings, “Now He could do no mighty work there, except that He laid His hands on a few sick people and healed them . And He marveled because of their unbelief” (Mark 6:5–6, NKJV) . Spiritual healing is more of a mighty work than physical healing . In another instance, Jesus discussed salvation with Nicodemus and stressed, “unless one is born again, he cannot see the kingdom of God” (John 3:3, NKJV) . Later in the same conversation Jesus repeated the thought, “unless one is born of water Spiritual healing is the only and the Spirit, he cannot enter the kingdom of God” (John 3:5, NKJV) . healing that will allow an individual to both see and enter the kingdom of God! How and when did you know you needed to be saved?

Jesus emphasized the importance and necessity of spiritual healing . Paul described in his letter John wrote “the Father to Timothy that God “desires all men to be saved” (I Timothy 2:4, NKJV) . has sent the Son as Savior of the world” (I John 4:14, NKJV) .

Peter preached “For the promise is to you and to your children, and to all who are afar off, as many as the Lord our God will call” (Acts The apostles understood this . Jesus Himself commanded the gospel to be preached 2:39, NKJV) . “in Jerusalem, and in all Judaea, and in Samaria, and unto the uttermost part of the earth” (Acts 1:8, Centuries of a traditional mind-set from the Old Covenant had claimed only the children of KJV) .

Israel were God’s chosen people . But after Jesus came, spiritual healing was made available to all who desired it .

What is the most profound experience you’ve observed of someone else receiving spiritual healing?

Peter gave perhaps the best explanation of spiritual healing: “who Himself bore our sins in His own body on the tree, that we, having died to sins, might live for righteousness—by whose stripes you were healed . For you were like sheep going astray, but have now returned to the Shepherd and Overseer of your souls” (I Peter 2:24–25, NKJV) .

Once we have received spiritual healing, it challenges our level of commitment to God . These verses of Scripture are not only referring to healing for physical needs, but they are also referring to healing from the bondage of sin through repentance, baptism in the name of Jesus, and the infilling of the Holy Ghost with evidence of speaking in other tongues . Spiritual healing causes us to appreciate the other works He does in our lives . As John writes, “We love Him because He first loved us” (I John 4:19, NKJV) .

When we take care of the eternal issues, the temporary issues are easier to overcome through Him .

The Finish section closes the lesson with a compelling story to prepare hearts for a time of prayer.

J

ay was an 18-year-old international student from Inner Mongolia, an autonomous region of Northern China . He had come to Singapore to further his education in college, beyond secondary school (high school) . While still in China, Jay had made contact with one of the local “underground” churches in Inner Mongolia in the town where he had lived . They were able to connect him with the UPCI missionary and church in Singapore once he relocated to attend university .

Jay was exceptionally tall and always friendly . He had gotten a small taste of Apostolic teaching and worship, and he was open for more . Within a few weeks of arriving in Singapore, he made contact with the local missionaries and was able to attend Tabernacle of Joy, a thriving church to this day .

One of the AIMers who was working with the missionaries in the church at the time befriended Jay and began a Bible study with him . Jay had grown up Buddhist and had very little understanding of God’s Word . Each day after his university classes were complete, Jay would catch the metro transit to the church . Over several weeks he began to learn about the biblical characters, their stories, and why Jesus came into the world .

Being from a Chinese background, Jay had a hunger for knowledge and would ask many questions . He was particularly interested in the teachings of Jesus regarding salvation and going to Heaven . Week after week Jay would come to the church after school to learn about the Bible . When the AIMer began to teach Jay about Jesus Christ and how He came to save us from our sins, Jay paid very close attention . He wanted to understand more about the infilling of the Holy Ghost and water baptism .

Conversations with the AIMer turned from discussing Scripture to self-examination . Jay was beginning to realize some old habits had to change if he was going to truly live for God . He wrestled with what his parents back home would think . It was a major moment when Jay decided he needed to receive the Holy Ghost and be baptized in Jesus’ name . So Jay began making regular trips to the altar after every service, repenting of sin and learning to seek after God . Time was drawing near for the AIMer to leave, so one week before his departure, he boldly told Jay, “I will see you filled with the Holy Ghost and baptized in Jesus’ name before I leave!”

Jay embraced this faith and the next Sunday, as Jay was praying with his youth group, he raised his hands in surrender to God, lifted his head, and began to speak in a language that was neither English nor Chinese Mandarin . Barely able to hold back his tears, he then went to the next room and stepped into the baptistery where the AIMer baptized him in the wonderful name of Jesus!

Jay had not come to Singapore seeking spiritual healing, but within two months of his arrival, he found it!

(The AIMer in this story was our author, Chad Flowers .)

The Family Connection equips parents to have a unified conversation as a family. With a summary of the lesson for each age group, discussionquestion prompts, and activity ideas, families have the tools they need to grow in discipleship beyond the walls of the church.

I Am the Lord That Healeth Thee: Spiritual Healing

Series Big Idea: Because God is our Healer, we can experience healing in every part of our lives.

Use the conversation starters below to help create spiritual discussions with your family.

Exodus 15:26 Lesson Big Idea: Because God is our healer, we can experience spiritual healing.

Bring It Home: Today we learned that Jesus can heal our spirits, as well as our bodies. The paralyzed man was in need of physical healing, but Jesus chose to heal his spirit first by forgiving his sins. Do the activity on the take-home paper with your child as a reminder that Jesus heals.

Exodus 15:26 Lesson Big Idea: Because God is our healer, we can experience spiritual healing.

Bring It Home: Today in class we read the Bible story from Mark 2:1–12 where four faithful friends carried their paralyzed friend to Jesus to be healed. Before Jesus healed the friend, He first forgave his sins. Jesus was concerned with healing the man spiritually as well as physically. Jesus can also heal us spiritually and forgive our sins.

• Why is spiritual healing important?

This week, your family is encouraged to plan a special dinner night together.

During that time discuss what it means to be spiritually healed. Consider the following questions for discussion:

• What are some spiritual “sicknesses” or problems that can affect any person?

• How does the healing process begin?

• How do you know when you are truly healed spiritually and why is our spiritual health so important to track and guage?

Jesus first looked up to the four friends, as they peered down into the room to see what Jesus might do to their friend, and He was moved by their faith. He then turned His focus to the man on the bed and with authority declared, “Son, your sins are forgiven you” (Mark 2:5, NKJV).

The unbelievable statement caused the scribes who were present to become cynical, silently accusing Jesus of blasphemy, for they knew only God could forgive sin. To their surprise, Jesus turned to where they were sitting in the room and confronted them. “Why do you reason about these things in your hearts? Which is easier, to say to the paralytic, ‘Your sins are forgiven you,’ or to say, ‘Arise, take up your bed and walk’?” (Mark 2:8–9, NKJV). Jesus confronted their skepticism and

LESSON BIG IDEA: Accepting Spiritual Healing then proved His power in one bold move. Looking at the scoffers He began, “But that you may know that the Son of Man has power on earth to forgive sins”—He said to the paralytic, “I say to you, arise, take up your bed, and go to your house” (Mark 2:10–11, NKJV).

Immediately the man who had suffered paralysis due to his illness stood up, picked up his bed, and walked through the doorway, demonstrating both the saving and healing power of Jesus!

That day Jesus proved His ability to forgive sin. In so doing, He showed that dealing with our eternal destiny was just as powerful as His ability to heal sickness—something only temporal!

3. Take requests to pray in class for those needing prayer.

4. Share some of your own personal blessings from the last week and help to define “blessings” by showing students that even the smallest of things can be recorded.

5. It is all about perception.

Have one or two of your students share a story of spiritual pain. This may be a difficult subject to discuss for those in your class who bear spiritual scars. Do your best to share personal stories and build trust so students feel comfortable sharing.

FRAME I. Spiritual Healing A. Spiritual healing is God’s first, and most important, priority in our lives.

1. We were created to live in relationship with God. Everything was perfect in the Garden of Eden. Evil had not been experienced; everything was new and fresh.

Instructions help teachers carry out break-out activities to interact with the lesson on a deeper level.

The Frame section provides the main body of the lesson in an easy-tofollow outline format.

2. God met with Adam and Eve daily. However, in this seemingly perfect scenario, the serpent tempted Eve with what was forbidden. Temptation led to the Fall, which separated man from God. Where fulfillment once reigned, now existed a gaping hole in the hearts of men and women.

3. After God’s pronouncement of judgment on Adam, Eve, and the serpent, they were forced from the

Garden to live in a new world.

4. As a result, healing was needed, particularly spiritual healing, so God and man could have relationship

B. God’s plan was revealed immediately after the Fall.

C. Read Genesis 3:15.

1. As God’s Word reveals, God’s desire for relationship with mankind is very strong.

2. Only a blood sacrifice could atone for sin; thus, God’s people had to regularly offer animal blood sacrifices under the Old Covenant in order to receive spiritual healing. However, a New Covenant was coming in which God would provide His own sacrifice to atone for sin forever.

3. This provision for spiritual healing was what God prophesied to the serpent in the Garden of Eden.

D. The need for spiritual healing was the whole reason for a Messiah.

E. Read John 3:16.

1. From the moment of Adam and Eve’s departure from the Garden, everything began building to an appointment at Calvary between the Messiah and a cross.

2. Under the Old Covenant, man could only experience spiritual healing by offering an animal sacrifice. But God intended His love to reach further than this.

F. Read Luke 19:10.

G. God’s plan to overcome the disobedience of Adam and Eve in the Garden of Eden reaches to every life today.

1. As has already been stated, spiritual healing is how God bonds with us.

2. Though we have recorded accounts of God talking with Noah, Abraham, Jacob, and Moses, one-on-one, we see God’s desire to bond with His people grow to a larger level in the Book of Exodus.

H. Read Exodus 25:8.

1. God brought the Israelites into the wilderness to establish them as a people dedicated to Him. 2. The Lord not only instructed them how the sanctuary was to be built, but also how they were to interact with the sanctuary.

3. He even gave them specific instructions concerning where each of the twelve tribes were to camp in relation to the Tabernacle.

4. This is the first time we see God making a way to dwell in the midst of His people.

Do you feel like you are important to God? Why or why not?

Can you share how God’s spiritual healing has helped you?

II. His Sacrifice A. His sacrifice at Calvary allows all of us to experience spiritual healing.

B. Read Isaiah 53:8.

C. Read I Peter 2:24.

1. In the next verse, Peter likens all of us to sheep wandering astray and wonderfully saved by the Shepherd of our souls.

2. Though under the Old Covenant only the Hebrews could receive spiritual healing by bringing a sacrifice, only the tribe of Levi (from which the priests came) could experience the presence of God as they entered the Holy of Holies inside the Tabernacle one time a year.

3. However, after Christ’s death at Calvary, a new way to receive spiritual healing was given. Through the Cross we were given the opportunity for our sins to be completely forgiven.

4. No longer would sin reign in our mortal bodies, but we could be forever free!

LESSON BIG IDEA: Accepting Spiritual Healing D. Spiritual healing allows us to fully appreciate the other works of God in our lives.

1. When we have received spiritual healing from a life of sin, we learn to appreciate the mercy and grace God shows us daily.

2. Jesus demonstrated throughout His ministry that spiritual healing took priority over meeting any other needs of people.

3. In the opening narrative of Jesus and the paralytic, Mark records how Jesus first forgave the man’s sin.

4. The man had been brought to Him for physical healing, but Jesus was demonstrating to him and the rest of the crowd that His power was more far-reaching than just a physical healing. Instead, He touched the man’s eternal needs first.

5. I Peter 2:24 reminds us that we receive spiritual healing because Jesus died for us.

E. Spiritual healing is the most important healing that can occur in us.

F. Read Mark 6:5–6.

1. Truly, spiritual healing is more of a mighty work than physical healing.

2. One gives temporary relief, while the other paves the way for eternal salvation and understanding.

G. Read John 3:3–5.

1. Spiritual healing is the only healing that will allow an individual to both see and enter the kingdom of God! 2. Jesus emphasized the importance and necessity of spiritual healing.

H. Read I Timothy 2:4.

I.

Read I John 4:14.

J. Read Acts 2:39.

K. Read Acts 1:8.

1. Centuries of a traditional mind-set from the Old Covenant had claimed only the children of Israel were God’s chosen people.

2. But after Jesus came, spiritual healing was made available to all who desired it.

L. Read I Peter 2:24–25.

1. Peter gave perhaps the best explanation of spiritual healing: 2. “Who Himself bore our sins in His own body on the tree, that we, having died to sins, might live for righteousness—by whose stripes you were healed. For you were like sheep going astray, but have now returned to the Shepherd and Overseer of your souls.”

M. Spiritual healing challenges our level of commitment to God. 1. These verses of Scripture are not only referring to healing for physical needs, but they are also referring to healing from the bondage of sin through repentance, baptism in the name of Jesus, and the infilling of the Holy Ghost with evidence of speaking in other tongues.

2. Spiritual healing causes us to appreciate the other works He does in our lives.

N. Read I John 4:19.

Discussion questions prompt students to personalize lesson information.

Can you describe how understanding what Christ did at Calvary has changed your life?

Describe your personal Acts 2:38 experience.

This would be an excellent time for a personal testimony. Alternatively, consider asking ahead of time for a volunteer in the class to share his or her story.

The Finish section provides a closing story to weave together the lesson concept in a way that moves hearts.

FINISH J

ay was an 18-year-old international student from Inner Mongolia, an autonomous region of Northern China. He had come to Singapore to further his education in college, beyond secondary school (high school). While still in China, Jay

had contacted one of the local “underground” churches in Inner Mongolia in the town where he had lived. They connected him with the UPCI missionary and church in Singapore once he relocated to attend university.

Jay was exceptionally tall and always friendly. He had gotten a small taste of Apostolic teaching and worship, and he was open for more. Within a few weeks of arriving in Singapore, he contacted the local missionaries and was able to attend Tabernacle of Joy, a thriving church to this day.

One of the AIMers who was working with the missionaries in the church at the time befriended Jay and began a Bible study with him. Jay had grown up Buddhist and had very little understanding of God’s Word. Each day after his university classes were complete, Jay would catch the metro transit to the church. Over several weeks he began to learn about the biblical characters, their stories, and why Jesus came into the world.

Being from a Chinese background, Jay had a hunger for knowledge and would ask many questions. He was particularly interested in the teachings of Jesus regarding salvation and going to Heaven. Week after week Jay would come to the church after school to learn about the Bible. When the AIMer began to teach Jay about Jesus Christ and how He came to save us from our sins, Jay paid very close attention. He wanted to understand more about the infilling of the Holy Ghost and water baptism.

Conversations with the AIMer turned from discussing Scripture to self-examination. Jay was beginning to realize some old habits had to change if he was going to truly live for God. He wrestled with what his parents back home would think. It was a major moment when Jay decided he needed to receive the Holy Ghost and be baptized in Jesus’ name. So Jay began making regular trips to the altar after every service, repenting of sin and learning to seek after God. Time was drawing near for the AIMer to leave, so one week before his departure, he boldly told Jay, “I will see you filled with the Holy Ghost and baptized in Jesus’ name before I leave!”

Jay embraced this faith and the next Sunday, as Jay was praying with his youth group, he raised his hands in surrender to God, lifted his head, and began to speak in a language that was neither English nor Chinese Mandarin. Barely able to hold back his tears, he then went to the next room and stepped into the baptistery where the AIMer baptized him in the wonderful name of Jesus!

Jay had not come to Singapore seeking spiritual healing, but within two months of his arrival, he found it!

(The AIMer in this story was our author, Chad Flowers.)

4. Spiritual healing challenges our level of _________________________ to God.

Final Thought Last week we discussed the importance of faith concerning our physical health. Yet, when we truly consider the things of God, it becomes clear that our spiritual health is much more valuable than anything physical could ever be. When we consider our spiritual health, it is no longer a question of livelihood but rather an understanding that if we are wounded spiritually, it seeks to threaten our eternity. If we are hurt, we must attend to it quickly with all faith and prayer that God would help to heal and change us so we might find hope in our eternal salvation.

Late Elementary (4-6)

Spiritual Surgery Prior to Class Invite an adult or choose a volunteer to be your patient . Cover a table with a white tablecloth . Dress like a surgeon, using a white doctor’s coat, rubber gloves, and a mask . Use ten pieces of charcoal to represent sins .

Guided Practice Patient enters, complaining loudly of pain . Patient lies on table . (Cover him with two sheets. Hide the pieces of coal between the sheets.)

Explain that you’re getting ready to perform surgery . Tell students the patient looked healthy this morning, but he has been complaining about pain in his heart .

(Pretend to give the patient a sedative. Patient closes his eyes. Use a toy saw for a mock incision. Act like you’re taking the coal (one piece) out of his heart as you talk to the class.)

Talk about various sins the patient has committed as you remove the charcoal, one piece at a time . Encourage class interaction in listing and explaining sins . Explain that the patient needs spiritual healing and forgiveness .

Example: “Wow! Johnny is having serious problems with ________” (lying, cheating, disobeying, jealousy, anger, and so on) .

(After all “sins” are removed, patient jumps off of the table and leaps around the room, because he is spiritually healed.) Explain that the surgery was a success; students applaud!

• How do we know if we have sin in our heart?

Today’s Bible lesson discusses a spiritual healing when a man receives forgiveness from Jesus .

The Poison of Sin

Pour a small amount of pancake syrup in each child’s hand . Discuss how the syrup feels and tastes . Discuss how sin is sticky and messy like the syrup .

If we ate or drank syrup every day, we would become sick . Sin makes us spiritually sick, and we need Jesus to heal us .

Give students wipes to clean their hands .

• Why is sin messy?

Prior to Class Tape the POISON label (trp) to a large jar .

Guided Practice Give each student an index card and a marker . Students write a sin on the card and place it in the poison jar .

Explain why sins are deadly poison . People who sin are spiritually ill and need healing . Jesus gives us this spiritual healing .

• Discuss the importance of spiritual healing.

• Why do we need forgiveness of sins to be healed spiritually?

• Why is the only cure for sin the healing power of Jesus?

The Leader’s Guide includes material appropriate for early elementary students (first through third grades) and material more fitting for late elementary students (fourth through sixth grades). A teacher can easily review each option and pick the material that is most appropriate for the class based on their Bible knowledge and maturity levels.

The Bible lesson begins with a question that prompts students to access their prior knowledge or life experiences. By doing so, students prepare their minds to engage with the Bible lesson and apply it to their present-day life scenarios.

Late Elementary (4-6)

Bible Lesson: Spiritual Healing for a Friend (Mark 2:1–12) • What are character traits of a good friend?

Choose six student actors: Jesus, four friends, and paralyzed man. Use a sheet or blanket for the paralyzed man to lie on.

One day in the city of Capernaum, four friends heard exciting news—Jesus had come to town! The town buzzed with talk about the miracles Jesus had performed .

(Instruct students to turn and whisper to a friend about a miracle Jesus performed.)

The friends had a paralyzed friend who desperately needed a miracle . One big problem . He couldn’t walk, so they would have to come up with a plan to get their friend to where Jesus was . Suddenly one of them had a great idea! They would carry their paralyzed friend, in his bed, to Jesus .

The four friends went to their paralyzed friend’s house . They knocked on his door and entered his house . (Actors act this out.) They told their friend about Jesus and shared their great idea . Maybe the paralyzed man felt like this was his only chance to be healed, so he agreed .

Out the door they went, carrying their paralyzed friend to the house where Jesus was teaching . (Four friends hold corners of the sheet as the paralyzed actor lies in sheet. Actors carry their friend around the room.)

They finally arrived at the house . (Gently set him down.)

Much to their dismay, there were so many people they couldn’t get close to the door, much less to where Jesus was . This little roadblock didn’t stop them . They were determined to get their friend to Jesus!

They had another brilliant idea! They climbed onto the roof carrying their friend . He watched with hope as his four friends tore open the roof off of the house .

(Actors act like they are tearing off a roof.)

Once they made a hole big enough, they lowered their friend’s bed down right in front of where Jesus sat .

(Show the Four Friends visual) (trp) .

As the man was let down through the roof, Jesus saw their faith . He immediately declared to the paralyzed man, “Son, thy sins be forgiven thee .”

What?! The friends probably scratched their heads in confusion because Jesus looked right past their friend’s physical illness and addressed his spiritual need . Jesus forgave his sins, but he was still paralyzed!

Jesus saw the greatest need . He saw the sins in the man’s heart and knew he needed forgiveness .

Some people in the crowd became very angry when they heard Jesus tell the paralyzed man that his sins were forgiven . In their hearts they accused Jesus of blasphemy . They thought He was trying to make himself God . After all, only God can forgive sins .

Jesus knew what they were thinking . He asked if it was easier to forgive sins or to physically heal the man . Jesus wanted them to know He had the power to give spiritual healing as well as physical healing .

Jesus turned to the paralyzed man and told him to get up out of his bed and go home . And he did! He was immediately healed! He was no longer paralyzed and received two healings that day!

Some of us are just like that paralyzed man . We may be in need of physical healing, but we also need spiritual healing . Jesus wants us to experience spiritual healing first . After all, we could get into Heaven being sick, but we cannot get into Heaven with sin .

Jesus died for our sins so we could receive forgiveness and healing for our souls .

At the end of each Bible lesson, discussion questions help the teacher gauge students’ reactions, clarify teaching points, and challenge students to apply the Bible teaching to their personal lives.

Discussion Questions: • Why did the four friends bring their friend to Jesus?

• Why do you think Jesus addressed the paralyzed man’s spiritual need first?

• How did Jesus spiritually heal the paralyzed man?

Why is spiritual healing important?

How can we be healed spiritually?

Sea of Forgetfulness

Prior to Class Use masking tape to create the outline of a cross on the floor .

Guided Practice Explain that without Jesus’ sacrifice, we would not have healing . Hand out sticky notes and pencils . Students write specific prayer requests for their friends on the sticky notes . Have them stick the notes inside the cross and pray over the needs .

• How does God give us spiritual healing?

• Why does God forgive our sins?

• Why is Jesus’ death on the cross important?

• Why is spiritual healing important

“He will turn again, he will have compassion upon us; he will subdue our iniquities; and thou wilt cast all their sins into the depths of the sea” (Micah 7:19) . Students read the Scripture passage . Compare the Scripture to today’s lesson . When Jesus gives us a spiritual healing, He doesn’t hold our past sins against us .

• When we receive spiritual healing and forgiveness, what happens to our sins?

• Why shouldn’t we dwell on past sins and mistakes?

• Can we receive spiritual healing more than once in our lives? Why or why not?

Academic Connection heal•er one with the power to cure

Show the letter H poster (trp) . Review the sound H makes and what the word healer means . Ask if any students remember the sign language for healer and allow them to demonstrate .

• What had the doctors been able to do for the woman who was sick?

• What happened when she touched Jesus’ clothes?

Tell students they should tap their head each time they hear you say the word healer . We will be learning Jesus is the healer of not just our outside bodies, but of our spirits inside as well .

Broken Heart Object Lesson

Broken Cookie Object Lesson

Prior to Class Make a red posterboard heart . Cut it in half .

• Have you ever felt sad?

People call it brokenhearted when they are sad for a long time .

Show the two pieces of the broken heart . Tell students you wish there was a way to put it back together .

• Do you know of a way to put it back together?

Turn the heart over and carefully tape the back together to reassemble it . Hold it up for everyone to see .

Lead a discussion on how Jesus is our healer and when He puts a heart back together, it is as good as new!

Discuss what it means to be brokenhearted .

• Have any of you have ever felt brokenhearted or had your feelings hurt?

Lead a discussion about how God can heal all broken hearts . Show a cookie in a Ziploc bag . Demonstrate how easily words can break a person’s heart by smashing the cookie with a mallet .

Show the crumbs that remain . While we can’t put the cookie back together, Jesus is our healer and He can heal a broken heart .

Pull out an unbroken cookie . Jesus can make us better than new! If you tell Jesus about your broken heart and ask Him to heal you, He will do it .

Share the remaining cookies with the class .

The Leader’s Guide includes material appropriate for toddlers (two and three years old) and material more fitting for kindergarten students (four and five years old). A teacher can easily review each content option and pick the material that is most appropriate for the class based on their Bible knowledge and maturity levels.

Series Memory Verse “I will put none of these diseases upon thee, . . . for I am the Lord that healeth thee” (Exodus 15:26) .

Sick Man Healed Show the memory verse poster (trp) and review the verse . Demonstrate lying down on the ground as if you are sick . Have another teacher quote the memory verse and help you up .

Pair up students . Have one student lie down and pretend to be sick . The other student says the memory verse (with assistance as needed) and then helps the “sick child” to get up . The pair should then switch parts and repeat .

Pin the Band-Aid on a Friend Have students form a circle . Tell them they cannot move . Choose one student to be “it .” Place a blindfold over that student’s eyes (or have the student close her eyes if she is hesitant to put it on). Give her an opened Band-Aid with the tabs taken off . Allow the blindfolded student to try sticking the Band-Aid on another child in the room . Have the other children be very quiet so the blindfolded child won’t know who she is putting the Band-Aid on . After she sticks the Band-Aid on another student, the two students say the memory verse together . Continue until everyone has had a chance to say the verse . Emphasize that Jesus is our healer .

The Bible lesson begins with a question that prompts students to access their prior knowledge or life experiences. By doing so, students prepare their minds to engage with the Bible lesson.

Carry Me To Jesus Divide the class into two or three teams, depending on class size . Explain that the Bible tells us about some men who brought their friend to Jesus for healing .

Have each team gather around a large towel or blanket .

Choose someone who is able to say the memory verse to sit on the towel/blanket . Show the rest of the team how to drag the friend carefully across the room .

Give each group an opportunity to say the memory verse and drag their “sick friend” across the room . If time permits, repeat until everyone has had a chance to be the “sick friend .” Reinforce that the men were bringing their sick friend to Jesus because He is our healer .

Bible Lesson: Healed and Forgiven (Mark 2:1–12) Prepare a cardboard box with a hole in the top.

Cover the top with strips of paper or cardboard you can easily remove. You will also need a miniature stretcher made of cardboard or craft sticks with string taped to the bottom of each corner so it can be lowered into the box. Place a small doll or action figure on the stretcher.

• Have you ever been to a place that was so crowded you could barely move?

One day in the city of Capernaum, four friends heard that Jesus had come to town . They heard of many miracles of healing Jesus had done, and they thought about their friend who was paralyzed .

Because he couldn’t walk, they would have to come up with a plan to get their friend to Jesus . One of them had a great idea: the four of them would carry

their paralyzed friend on his bed to where Jesus was teaching .

The four friends went to their paralyzed friend’s house . They told him all about Jesus . Then they told him about their plan . Soon they were carrying their friend to the house where Jesus was . But when they got to the house, there were so many people they couldn’t even get close to the door, much less get inside to where Jesus was .

Show Four Friends visual (trp). This didn’t stop the four friends . They were determined to get their friend to Jesus . They climbed up onto the roof bringing their friend with them . He was still lying on his bed as his four friends began tearing the roof off of the house . Once they made a hole big enough,

they began lowering their friend’s bed down right in front of Jesus . (Demonstrate with prepared box and stretcher.)

Jesus loved their faith . He immediately said to the sick man, “Son, thy sins be forgiven thee .” Wow! Jesus looked right past his sickness and took care of his heart . After all, he could get into Heaven paralyzed, but he could not get into Heaven with sin .

Some people watching became very angry when they heard Jesus tell the paralyzed man that his sins were forgiven . Only God can forgive sins! These people were offended that Jesus did what only God could do . They didn’t realize who Jesus was .

Jesus knew what they were thinking . He asked them, “Is it easier to forgive sins or to heal?” Then Jesus said, “So that you may know that the Son of Man hath power on earth to forgive sins,” and then

He turned to the paralyzed man and told him to get up out of his bed and go home . And he did! He was immediately healed! He was no longer paralyzed!

At the end of each Bible lesson, Kindergarten discussion questions help the teacher gauge older students’ reactions, clarify teaching points, and challenge students to apply the Bible teaching to their personal lives.

Kindergarten Discussion Questions: • What did the four friends do when they heard Jesus was in town?

• What happened when they got to the place where Jesus was teaching?

• How did they get their friend to Jesus?

• What happened to the sick man once he was with Jesus?

What does it mean to be forgiven?

What do you think would have happened to the sick man if his friends had given up when they couldn’t get in the house?

The Finish section provides instructions for using the Activity Paper and closing activities to reinforce the lesson.

This section contains a variety of activities . Children learn during playtime . Feel free to do all of the activities or choose a few that will work best with your students .

Edible Bed Prior to Class Make an edible sample bed using pretzel sticks, a fruit roll, and a Teddy Graham . Unroll the fruit roll and then wrap the edges around the pretzel sticks to create a bed on a frame . Then place the Teddy Graham on the bed like the man in the Bible lesson .

Guided Practice Give each student a plate with a few pretzel sticks, a fruit roll, and a Teddy Graham . Allow students time to make the edible bed (assist as needed), and then they may eat their snack .

Activity Paper: Jesus Heals and Forgives Ask the students to trace the dotted lines to show the ropes on the sick man’s bed . Then they will color the picture .
