TODAY’S LESSON:
A: MEMORY VERSE: “The Spirit of the Lord is upon Me, because He hath anointed Me to preach the gospel to the poor; He hath sent Me to heal the brokenhearted, to preach deliverance to the captives, and recovering of sight to the blind, to set at liberty them that are bruised.” – Luke 4:18
B: BIBLE TEXT: Isaiah 42:5-8
5 – Thus saith God the LORD, He that created the heavens, and stretched them out; He that spread forth the earth, and that which cometh out of it; He that giveth breath unto the people upon it, and spirit to them that walk therein:
6 – I the LORD have called thee in righteousness, and will hold thine hand, and will keep thee, and give thee for a covenant of the people, for a light of the Gentiles;
7 – To open the blind eyes, to bring out the prisoners from the prison, and them that sit in darkness out of the prison house.
8 – I am the LORD: that is My name: and My glory will I not give to another, neither My praise to graven images.
C: LESSON INTRODUCTION:
The word missionary is derived from the latin word “mitto” which means “to send”. There is a greek equivalent called “apostello”. They both mean “to send”. Therefore a missionary may be defined or described as someone who is commissioned by a superior authority to bring a message or to carry out a work instructed by the sending authority. The missionary is sent to relate God’s salvation message to the world. Thus Jesus Christ is God’s missionary per excellence.
LEADERS DIARY:
A: LESSON AIM: To explain how Christ did the work of a missionary when He was in earth.
B: TEACHING OBJECTIVES: At the end of the lesson, members should be able to:
i. Follow the footsteps of Christ in the work of mission.
ii. Hunger for the qualities of a missionary.
C: TEXT REVIEW: Isaiah 42:5-8
i. Our text talks about how He (the Lord) will hold our hands and lead us.
ii. He also makes us to know that He has made us the light to the gentiles (unbelievers).
iii. These and others are the works of a missionary.
D: TEACHING METHOD: The leader should use the teaching/lecture method.
E: TIME MANAGEMENT: Share the teaching time using the suggested time schedule.
LESSON OUTLINES: There is one outline:
