Easter Overview
Week 1: Legends
Bible: Romans 5:7-9; Hebrews 12:2; John 3:16-17; Luke 23:20-43
Bottom Line: Jesus demonstrated His love by laying down his life for all of humanity, even while we were still sinners.
Week 2: What Jesus “never said” on the cross
Bible: Proverbs 18:21; Matthew 6:13-15; Luke 23:33-34
Bottom Line: On the cross, Jesus said, “Father forgive them, for they know not what they do,” instead of saying “Father may their words and actions be held against them.” Why?
Week 3: YOLO Debunked
Bible: Matthew 16:21; John 14:1-3; John 11:25; Matthew 28:10; John 20:1-8
Bottom Line: The grave was empty, and even death could not defeat the mission of Jesus.
Week 4: What happened to death's sting?
Bible: 1 Cor. 15:55-58; Romans 6:23; Eph. 2:8-9; 2 Cor. 5:6-8; Phil. 1:21-23; 1 John 1:1; Acts 7:54-60; Acts 22:19-20
Bottom Line: Those who are in Christ no longer have to fear death.
Easter Flashback Overview
Week 1: Jesus feeds the 5000
Bible: John 61; Kings 18:21-29
Bottom Line: As we look back at one of the amazing miracles Jesus performed, we see the seemingly impossible feeding of the 5,000. This lesson will be a chance for students to realize God cannot only take care of them, but He can go above and beyond what they need—providing leftovers when they thought He couldn’t take care of one meal.
Week 2: The life, death, and life of Lazarus
Bible: John 11
Bottom Line: Here we see another of Jesus’ miracles when He brings Lazarus back to life. Students will be challenged to realize the power of Jesus. They'll discover the power of praying to Him -expecting Him to work in God-sized ways. Even if it doesn’t make sense or seem possible for them.
Week 3: Jesus is washing feet?
Bible: John 13
Bottom Line: As we get closer to Easter, we begin to understand more about His plan. In this lesson, students will be challenged to humble themselves and take the first step in following Christ. They will have an opportunity to initiate a conversation about their relationship with Jesus.
Week 4: The Easter Story
Bible: John 20
Bottom Line: Easter is here! In this lesson the Easter Flashback comes to an end. We see how all of these stories have brought us to Easter weekend. Students will be challenged to make a choice to follow Jesus.
