MPCC 5th-8th Grade Student Ministry
In this 4-week series, we'll discover that Jesus’ mission was to set people free and rebuild what has been destroyed — and we can join Him on that mission, in part, by doing justice and remembering all God has done.
If time travel were a thing, would you rather head to the past or the future? Why?
If you could bring something from the past into the present, what would you bring? A person? An Idea? A Thing?
Since the Bible was written so long ago, why do you think we still read, study, and apply it to our lives?
Luke 4:14-21 NLT
Jesus took his listeners back in time with a prophecy that had been written nearly 800 years earlier!
Isaiah 61:1-2 NLT
Isaiah declares:
• God's people need to be saved from their unrighteousness.
• The oppressed need to be saved from their oppressors.
• God has a plan to make wrong things right.
Isaiah said . . .
. . . Jesus says.
Jesus' Mission was to Set People Free!
Justice Jump
If Jesus has set you free, HIs mission becomes your mission.
On a Mission to Learn
Jesus said he came to:
• Bring Good News to the poor.
• Release captives.
• Make the blind see.
• Set oppressed people free.
• Comfort those who mourn.
How can we join Jesus on that mission?
How can we help people who are held captive by their sin and brokenness find freedom in Jesus?
How can our love for Jesus move us to help people who are held captive by injustice and oppression find freedom?
