Signs and Wonders – Miracles

Sunday School Lesson Series

Based on Signs and Wonders: Thirteen Miracles from the Life of Christ

Introduction

Find at least one place in the New Testament where Jesus refused to do a miracle.

  • Jairus Daughter
  • Lazarus when he was sick

Mark 6:4-6

4 Jesus said to them, “A prophet is not without honor except in his own town, among his relatives and in his own home.” 5 He could not do any miracles there, except lay his hands on a few sick people and heal them. 6 He was amazed at their lack of faith.

Find seven miracles referred to as “signs” in John.

  1. We found more than seven miracles in John.
  2. Water into wine. Ch 2
  3. Noble man’s son healed in Capernaum. Ch 4
  4. Healing a paralytic in the Pool of Bethesda. Ch 5
  5. Feeding the 5000. Ch 5.
  6. Man’s withered hand. Ch 5.
  7. Walk on water. Ch 6.
  8. A blind man healed by washing in a pool. (The question about his blindness was, “who sinned?” – Ch 9)
  9. Lazarus raised from the dead. Ch 11.

Nicodemus comments to Jesus in John 3: God must be with You.

Is God the only source of miracles? Explain

Yes _x__  No _x__

  • God is the only source, but He uses many agents. Apostles when they healed people. Moses’ staff.
  • Satan does thing imitating miracles to deceive

What’s the prevailing attitude about miracles in today’s world? 

  • They are not connected to God.
  • All “No” answers are God.
  • Miracles are trivialized: Look what I did.
  • Things fall into place with God.
  • What many call “God things” may/may not be miracles.

How close is that to yours?

Self-assessment.

Open discussion.

  • The ultimate healing his heaven.
  • Humility vs. Ego comes into play.
  • Each time God intercedes it’s a miracle.
  • Birth is a miracle.
