Sabbath School Study Hour

"What issues are more important than unity itself? How do we learn to distinguish between what must remain and what we can, if necessary, let go of? How can we learn to accept and even enjoy the diversity of cultures and traditions among us, while at the same time maintaining unity?"

"Why does Paul say it is impossible to be a follower of Christ while trying to please people?"

"While we need zeal and fervor for what we believe, how do we learn to temper our zeal with the realization that, at times, we just might be wrong?"

This final week’s lesson will look in more detail at five of the themes Peter wrote about: the suffering of Jesus that led to our salvation; our practical response to the knowledge that God will judge our actions at the last judgment; the hope we have in the soon return of Jesus; order in society and in the church; and the role Scripture has in providing guidance in our lives.

"Why must the Word of God, and not culture or our own judgment or reason, be the ultimate authority in our lives?"

"Why must we be sure to learn for ourselves the crucial truths we believe?"

"How many people have drifted off into fanaticism and error because they refused to heed the counsel of a Spirit-led community of believers?"

"How 'like Christ' are you? In what areas can you do better?"

"When you think about the life and death of Jesus and then realize that He was God, what does this tell you about the kind of God we serve and why we should love and trust Him?"

"Humility, rather than pride, should characterize the Christian’s relationship, not only with God but with each other (1 Pet. 5:5)."
