Lesson 1
AT2
AT1 / To know that miracles are events that can’t be explained
To know that Jesus could perform healing miracles because he was God / Initiate a class discussion to find out what pupils understand by miracle. Make notes of the lesson. Differentiate between a miracle worker & a magician. Discuss the word ‘mystery’. Are there things in life that we accept without fully understanding them? Talk about healing today. Where does it happen? Who heals today? Would it have been different if medical science was as advanced in Jesus’ time? Brainstorm any miracles known to pupils. Does God still perform miracles? Is healing just about physical sickness? / Bibles
Lesson 2
AT1
AT2 / To know the miracle of Jesus healing the centurion’s servant by command
To know the importance of the centurion’s faith
To understand about compassion / Read the account in Matthew 8: 5-13 What was the role of a centurion? Was this one typical of what we know about the Roman army? How was his faith so important? Hot seat the centurion to find out his feelings about Jesus & his servant. Write about own feelings on seeing an image of someone suffering from hunger, disease or war. How is compassion translated into deeds? / Matthew 8:5-13

To recognise that there are things in life which are puzzling & hard to understand / Read the miracle account from the Bible.
How do you think Jairus’ family felt about Jesus? Why did Jesus ask the parents not to tell people about the miracle? When are we required to have faith?
Write a newspaper article with an eye catching headline, reporting the miracle to the community. Who else did God raise from the dead?** What was the impact on the people present?
Brainstorm issues that pupils find hard to accept or understand. Choose a time when some or all issues can be discussed – maybe in the parameters of Circle Time. / Mark 5: 21-24 & 35-43
