Inteen Teacher (Spring 2016‪)‬

The material for this quarter revolves around Jesus’ life and ministry as portrayed in the Gospels of Mark and Luke. Mark and Luke show us how faith plays a vital role in following Jesus and living a life that pleases Him.

UNIT 1 • TESTS OF FAITH: The four lessons in this unit focus on tests of faith experienced by those in the Gospels who encountered Jesus.

UNIT 2 • RESTORATIVE FAITH: These four lessons show how faith in Jesus restored different people who were damaged mentally, physically, spiritually or emotionally.

UNIT 3 • THE FULLNESS OF FAITH: These five lessons focus on the qualities of a fully developed faith as well as the effects of that faith on the one who believes.
