To begin the session:
Distribute copies of the “Defining Faith” exercise from the activity page, which you can download here. Have learners work in pairs to complete as indicated before bringing the class back together.
To engage the learners in a study of the Scripture text:
Distribute copies of the “Miracles in Luke” exercise from the activity page. Give learners time to work in small groups to complete the activity as directed. Then, bring the class back together to discuss what they discovered.
After the activity, discuss as a class the significance of Jesus being called the “Son of David” (Luke 18:38-39); consult the commentary as needed to lead this conversation. Be sure to cover where this phrase originated, what expectations were attached to it, and how Jesus fulfilled or upended those expectations.
