In this week's lesson we explore Jesus' ministry of miracle healing and the impact of His ministry. We will also look at the healing done by His disciples. What message does this have for the church today? What was Jesus trying to convey about salvation? Jesus healed mental illnesses, diseases, blood issues, leprosy, and all forms of health issues. He even had power to heal the greatest cancer of all--Death! What does scripture mean by its statement that Jesus is "Resurrection and Life"? What does all this have to do with our lives today?

John Spellman preaches at the Babylon SDA Church in New York on the three potential disciples of Jesus in Luke 9:57-62. Jesus taught that the road to preaching the Kingdom of God is not an easy road. But, what might His responses to the three men be saying to people of the world today? How might these messages apply to our generation? Is it possible to be dead, while you're living and walking around? Does God have an answer for spiritual death?
Jesus, the greatest teacher that ever lived, used metaphor and other forms of figurative techniques, to reach the people He came to save. Many other Biblical writers used allegories and metaphor as well. On the other hand, scholars, like the apostle Paul, were plain and straight forward. Why did God sometimes use parables and allegories to communicate with His people? What does this tell us about God's character? Do these messages still hold relevance for us today? What does the way God communicates with us have to say about how God created us? We will explore these questions in this week's lesson.
What role should obedience play in our Christian walk? What does the life of Jesus show us about obedience? How does the Holy Spirit surprise us? What can we learn about obedience when comparing the response of Paul and King Agrippa? These questions are explored in this week's lesson.
