International Sunday School Lesson - May 24, 2026 - The Christian View of Recreation

Adult Topic - A Well-Earned Rest Welcome to this week’s International Sunday School Lesson, where we explore a powerful and practical topic: “The Christian View of Recreation.” Rooted in Mark 2:18–28, this lesson examines how Jesus redefined religious expectations and revealed God’s true intent for both spiritual discipline and rest. In this teaching, we walk through two key moments in Scripture—the question of fasting and the question of the Sabbath—to uncover a balanced, biblical perspective on joy, rest, and recreation. You’ll discover how Jesus challenged legalistic traditions and emphasized that faith is not about rigid rule-keeping, but about relationship, purpose, and renewal. His message reminds us that both celebration and rest are part of God’s design for our lives. ✅ Learn why fasting has its place—but also why joy matters ✅ Understand the true purpose of the Sabbath as a gift, not a burden ✅ Discover how healthy recreation fits into a Christ-centered life ✅ Be encouraged to live with both devotion and delight Key Scripture: Mark 2:27–28 — “The Sabbath was made for man, and not man for the Sabbath.” [SSL - The...Recreation | Word] Whether you’re teaching, studying, or simply growing in your faith, this lesson will help you develop a healthier, more balanced walk with Christ—one that includes both spiritual discipline and joyful restoration. 👍 If this lesson blesses you, don’t forget to like, comment, and subscribe for more weekly teachings!OUR PURPOSE IS PROVIDE POWER LIFE APPLICATIONAL TEACHING THAT WILL EQUIP, EMPOWER, EDUCATE, AND ENCOURAGE YOUR SPIRITUAL JOURNEY OUR JCC MISSION Is to touch one life with our teachings so that person will be used by GOD to touch a million more lives.
