The Key Events of Jesus’ Life and Ministry
To be a Christian is to know Christ, but how do we get to know Christ. The only reliable sources we have for knowing anything about Him are found only in the Bible. If we are going to know Christ, we have to know what the Bible has to say about Christ. During this series, we will be looking at nine critical events in the life and ministry of Jesus Christ which will help to give us a true portrait of who Jesus is and what He has done. The events that we will look at during this Sunday school series are suggested from the chapters in the book Ichthus written by Sinclair Ferguson and Derek Thomas.
The 9 lessons will be as follows:
1. THE BIRTH OF CHRIST – HIS INCARNATION (John 1:1-18)
2. THE RIVER OF JORDAN – HIS BAPTISM (Matthew 3:1-17)
3. THE WILDERNESS EXPERIENCE – HIS TEMPTATION (Luke 4:1-15)
4. THE MOUNTAIN TOP EXPERIENCE – HIS TRANSFIGURATION (Luke 9:28-36)
5. THE GARDEN EXPERIENCE – HIS DECISION (Matthew 26:36-46)
6. THE CROSS – HIS PASSION (Mark 15:1-39)
7. THE TOMB – HIS RESURRECTION (John 20:1-23)
8. THE THRONE – HIS ASCENSION (Luke 24:50-53 & Acts 1:1-11)
9. THE SECOND COMING – HIS RETURN (1 Thessalonians 4:13-18)
