Sunday School (Luke 6-9)
Chapter 6
- What is unlawful on the Sabbath.
- When the Pharisees accused Jesus and disciples of picking heads of grains and eating the kernels which was considered unlawful on the Sabbath day to which Jesus said to them “The Son of Man is Lord of the Sabbath”.
- On another instance the Pharisees accused Jesus for breaking the law of Sabbath by healing a man whose right hand was shrivelled to which Jesus replied, “i ask you, which is lawful on the Sabbath: to do good or to do evil, to save life or to destroy it?”
Hence, it is not forbidden to help others or to carry out God’s work on Sabbath day but what is unholy is to be not able to devote time for God.
- Blessings and Woe (v.20-26)
- Blessed are those who are poor(poor for they are helpless without God and are constantly relying on Him).
- Blessed are those who hunger for God
- Woe to those who are rich for they are constantly seeking appreciation from others.
- Teachings (v.27-49) e.g. Love your enemies, Do not judge, etc.
Chapter 7
- Acts of Healing (v.1-7)
- Healing of a centurion’s servant in the town of Capernaum. Jesus was amazed at the centurion’s great faith.
- Raising of a widow’s only son from death in the town of Nain.
- Jesus’s description of John the Baptist (v.18-35)
- Here Jesus states to the crowd that among those born of women there is no one greater than John.
- Events that took place in Simon Pharisee’s house (v.36-50)
Chapter 8 – Jesus’s Ministry
- The women who helped/assisted Jesus and his disciples out of their own means (v.1-3)
- Parable of the famer scattering seed (v.4-15)
- Parable of the lamp (v.16-21)

- Healings (v.26-56)
- Jesus casts out demons (in Gerasin)
- Raising of Jairus’s daughter.
- Jesus heals the bleeding woman.
Chapter 9
- Jesus sends out the twelve disciples and The Feeding of the 5000.
Jesus gave his disciples the power and authority to drive out all demons and to cure diseases and he sent them out to proclaim the kingdom of God and to heal the sick.
- Knowing Christ.
When Jesus asked his disciples, “who do the crowds say I am?” Peter answered, “God’s Messiah”
- The Transfiguration.
- The Disciples’ argument as to who will be the greatest among them?.
- Jesus sets out for Jerusalem.
Conclusion
God has authority over all things. Nothing that God doesn’t permit will come upon us. God has a purpose behind whatever that comes upon us.
