Jesus Say Go
Teachers
Lesson Summary
The young‑adult class at Linder Road Church of Christ opened with announcements about upcoming outreach events and then shifted focus to the theme “Jesus Said Go.” The teacher emphasized that Jesus, like great American storytellers, used vivid parables to connect with His audience, showing that storytelling is a powerful tool for sharing the gospel. The core of the lesson centered on Mark 1:39‑44, where a leper approached Jesus, was healed through a compassionate touch, and was instructed to keep the miracle private while presenting himself to the priest as a testimony. The class discussed why Jesus sometimes told the healed man to remain silent, exploring themes of humility, timing, and strategic witness. After the passage study, participants reflected on their own personal testimonies of Jesus, considering how excited they are to share those stories with strangers. The teacher encouraged each person to envision everyday moments – a sports game, a family gathering, or a casual conversation – as opportunities to “go” and tell the story of how Jesus has impacted their lives. The session concluded with a call to action: to be intentional, enthusiastic, and faithful ambassadors of Christ in every situation.
Key Scriptures
Go therefore and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, teaching them to observe all that I have commanded you.
And He began to teach them by parables. "Listen to this. A sower went out to sow."
And He spoke another parable to them, saying: "The kingdom of heaven is like a man who sowed good seed in his field; but while he slept, his enemy came and sowed weeds among the wheat, and went his way."
