Sabbath School Study Hour

"This week, the final chapters of Matthew, we study the inexhaustible truths regarding our Lord's death and resurrection and the hope that these two events offer us."

"How should Jesus' willingness to do what He did for us impact every aspect of our lives, especially when it comes to helping others? How can we learn to model better the character of Jesus in our lives?"

"At a time of so much turmoil and uncertainty in our world about the future, how can we learn to draw personal strength and hope from the promise of the Second Coming?"

"How can we make sure that we are not letting our desire to gain our maintain anything here, even something good, jeopardize what really matters: eternal life in Jesus?"

"The gospel needs to penetrate the heart, to go right to the idols of the soul, and whatever we are holding on to that's an impediment to our relationship to God needs to be gone."

"Peter and the disciples were gradually learning what true faith is. True faith isn't supposed to be the exciting experience of pursuing what you most want. True faith is the painful experience of releasing what you most want."

"In what ways might your expectations of what you expect from God be too narrow?"

'This week, as we continue our study of Matthew, we will look at a few of the Sabbath controversies and see in the life of Jesus a manifestation of what it means to keep the Sabbath."

"What things, even in secular life, remain mysteries to us? Do we stop believing, for instance, in the existence of the sun simply because of the many mysteries about it that we don't understand? How much more so, then, with questions of faith and the Word of God?"

"Whatever our physical struggles, even in the worst-case scenario they will always and only be temporary. Why is it crucial that we never forget this truth?"
