“Mission Possible” — A BridgeKidz Series

Join us for a new BridgeKidz series from The Sunday School Store, beginning April 12, 2026!

Easter is all about the Resurrection of Jesus, but the story doesn’t stop with the empty tomb. It’s the beginning of the most exciting mission we can ever join. In this life changing series kids will learn how Jesus’ resurrection gives us power to obey Him—even when no one notices.

THE BIG IDEA

Because Jesus is alive, we can join his mission to save the world.

MEMORY VERSE

Philippians 4:13 (NIrV)
“I can do all this through him who gives me strength.”

THEME HOOK

Spy HQ. Every lesson begins with a sealed “TOP SECRET” file. Leaders brief the agents, reveal the Bible case, train with a “Spy Tool,” and assign a covert home mission—no bragging, all for Jesus. The only additional materials this requires are optional manila envelopes and printouts of the top-secret missions, which we should create.

GOSPEL CONNECTION

Week 1 announces the good news—Jesus defeated sin and death. Weeks 2–4 show how His agents live it out: carrying God’s message, speaking up for what’s right, and doing good in secret—with strength only He provides.

“CHRIST IS RISEN! HE IS RISEN, INDEED! ALLELUIA!!”

This is the great shout for Easter; the highest day on the Church calendar!

On this day we celebrate the victory of Jesus over sin, death, and the power of the devil. All that He went through and endured is over and exultation and joy remain.

And for all who have faith in Jesus as their savior gain the same victories He won! Our sins are gone and forgiveness takes its place. Death is gone and everlasting life takes its place. Pain and anguish are bound to this life only and joy eternal awaits.

The resurrection of Jesus is the sole event to which all of history hinges. All of the old testament points to its coming and all since draws meaning in the light of it.

If Christ has not been raised, your faith is futile and you are still in your sins.

1 Corinthians 15:17

Without the resurrection everything else would be pointless and moot!

Come and be with us to celebrate this greatest day of the year and see how Jesus, though His resurrection, changes everything – for you!

Resurrection

The resurrection of Jesus is the quintessential pivotal point in all of history. Not just of salvation history or church history or theological history, but of all of history.

Why do you seek the living among the dead? He is not here, but has risen.

Luke 24:5b-6a

It is the point that changed everything for everyone.

Had Jesus died for our sins but stayed dead, our relationship with God would be bridged but the victory would have been temporary. Death would still have the last word. Life would be minimized. The eternity and permanence of death would be the norm forever.

But because Jesus did rise from the dead, because He did defeat death, He reversed that narrative; that reality; that sentence. Death doesn’t get the last word – life does. Our adversary doesn’t get the last word – God does. Our sins don’t get the last word – mercy does.

The victory of God’s promised Messiah, Jesus is what the Old Testament prophecies pointed toward and what our blessed eternal reality flow from.

Our suffering will end. Our heartache will be healed. Our struggles will be supplanted. Through faith in Jesus all that affects us negatively will pass away; because death has passed away. Because Jesus rose. Because Jesus won. Because he is alive! Because the tomb is empty!

Now everything is different; everything has changed – and that’s the greatest news of all!

“Christ has risen! He is risen indeed! Hallelujah! Amen!”

  • Psalm 118:19-29
  • Luke 19:28-40
