Key teaching points of this WEEKS lesson:
March 29th:
Topic: Jesus Heals on the Sabbath - Jesus is lord of the Sabbath.
Focus: On several occasions, the Pharisees objected to Jesus’ actions on the Sabbath. When Jesus healed a lame man, they rebuked the man for carrying his mat on the Sabbath. The Pharisees claimed Jesus’ disciples should not pluck grain to eat on the Sabbath. Jesus said he is lord of the Sabbath. Then he healed a man with a withered hand to reveal his authority over the Sabbath.
Memory Verse: John 3:36 - Whoever believes in the Son has eternal life; whoever does not obey the Son shall not see life, but the wrath of God remains on him.

Topic: Jesus Rose from the Dead - Jesus conquered death when he rose from the grave.
Focus: Jesus was crucified and placed in a tomb, but on the third day he rose from the dead! He appeared to Mary, his disciples, and other followers to show he had risen. Jesus’ death and resurrection conquered sin and death so we can have forgiveness of sin and the promise of eternal life in heaven with God.
