Episode for June 30, 2024

Why trials? Worship God, not Jesus? Jesus' baptism-why? Self-defense killing? Daniel during fiery furnace. Evil mens' families killed-why? Does God use dreams?

This week on Hope Sabbath School, we explore Lesson 8, "Learning to Know God." As we grow in our relationship with Him, it’s important to understand His character: God is love, God is holy, and He is Emmanuel, “God with us,” revealed through His Son, Jesus. Learning who God is is a powerful and life-changing journey that deepens our faith and trust in Him. Join us this week as we discover more about His character and draw closer to His heart.

What’s the relevance of an ancient Old Testament building to us today? Sean Sutton reveals how he built LEGO-style Bible Bricks to bring the sanctuary story to life, while Dr. Roy Gane explains how this ancient temple points to Jesus' life, sacrifice, and ongoing intercession for us.

We’re beginning a brand new series titled "Growing in Your Relationship with God", and this week’s lesson is called "Reality Check: Examining Your Spiritual Condition." While our primary focus should always remain on Jesus, there is also real value in pausing to honestly reflect on where we are in our walk with Him. Taking time for a spiritual self-examination helps us understand our strengths, recognize areas where we may be struggling, and invite God to continue His transforming work in our lives. So, how is your spiritual life? That’s the important and personal question we’ll be exploring together this week on Hope Sabbath School.
