Christian Education Summer 2020-2021 Confident Hope Unit 1 – Jesus Teaches About Faith
Often it takes a tragedy or other setback to force us to switch off the autopilot of everyday life. When that happens, the result can be an exposure of the cracks in our beliefs and the asking of the deeper questions of life. That was one result of the tragedy of 9/11, the 20th anniversary of which will be observed in a few months. That event seemed to dash hopes in life’s stability, and it led otherwise unchurched people to pack out worship services over the weeks that followed.
Even though church attendance soon began to drop back to “normal” levels, the tenacity of hope made itself felt in, among other things, the form of a $3 million hope sculpture in New York City in 2014. But the question remains: What or who is the proper object of a confident hope?
Jesus Teaches About Faith
This unit has four sessions that reveal the hope and faith that come through Jesus’ teachings and miracles. The sessions from Matthew demonstrate that faith in God is the primary source of hope and confidence. The miracles in Mark and Luke illustrate the power of faith.
Lesson 1 Freed from Worry Matthew 6:25–34
Life’s uncertainties can lead to worry about how to meet basic needs. As we realize that God is aware of those needs, we are freed from worry and are able to seek his kingdom and righteousness as a priority.
Lesson 2 Delivered from Fear Matthew 8:23–27
People often lose confidence amidst the storms of persecution, rejection, and poverty. Where can we find assurance when the storms of life rage? The disciples turned to Jesus to save them.
Lesson 3 Healed by Faith Matthew 9:18–26
People often look beyond themselves for help with their health issues. The ultimate way of healing is faith in Jesus, as discovered by the woman who had an issue of blood and a man whose daughter had died
Lesson 4 Rescued from Doubt Matthew 14:22–33
When in the depth of crisis, people are often caught between trust and doubt. Jesus, by walking on water, demonstrated his divine lordship over all aspects of life.

About This Recording
PRAYER
Father God, hallowed be Thy Name. As I begin this approach to the study of Your Word I pray that I will read and hear with an expectant mind and heart. Holy Spirit because I cannot understand the Word by myself, I ask that You guide me through this journey with a steady focus on what You would have me to receive. My desire is to know more about You, Father God, and to draw closer to You. Do not leave me in the dark I pray, but light my way by Your Spirit.
As You did through Jesus, I ask You to do the same for me. Give me the spirit of wisdom and revelation in the knowledge of You. Let the eyes of my understanding be enlightened, that I may know what is the hope of Your calling and what is the riches of the glory of Your inheritance in the saints, and what is the exceeding greatness of Your power to those of us who believe.
Open my understanding, Lord Jesus and purge me through Your Word, in the matchless Name of Jesus Christ, AMEN!
