Hope Sabbath School
Paul’s message in Philippians chapter 3 urges believers to place their confidence in Christ alone rather than in religious credentials or personal achievements. He describes how he once trusted in his heritage and strict obedience to the law, but now counts it all as loss compared to knowing Christ.
Philippians chapter 3 presents a powerful contrast between human self-confidence and complete dependence on Christ. Paul warns against false teachers who attempt to add requirements beyond simple faith in Jesus, and declares his impressive religious background and accomplishments as "worthless" when compared with the value of knowing Jesus as Lord. Confidence only in Christ becomes the foundation for true righteousness and the assurance of salvation.

Some have said that the most beautiful description of love is found in Paul's first letter to the Christians in Corinth. In 1st Corinthians 13, we discover a portrait of God's agape love—what it looks like, what it doesn't look like, and, most importantly, how that love can fill our hearts. It's a beautiful and life-changing study. Join us this week on Hope Sabbath School.

This week on Hope Sabbath School, we'll explore what Paul taught the new Christians in Corinth about spiritual gifts. Some wanted one gift, while others desired another. But we'll discover that the Holy Spirit is the One Who decides which gifts to give to each believer. As we learn to identify and use our gifts for God's glory, we can become a greater blessing to others. Join us this week for Hope Sabbath School.
