Lesson 1: God’s Mission to Us: Part 1

This week on Hope Sabbath School, we explore the lesson *Saving Faith*. Why is faith so important? Because it is essential not only for our salvation, but also for growing in a meaningful relationship with God. As we study this topic, we’ll discover that faith itself is a gift from God—something He graciously gives to us. And as we choose to trust Him and put that faith into action, it continues to grow stronger. Join us this week on Hope Sabbath School as we learn how to receive and live out this life-changing gift of faith.

What if God’s plan hijacks your dream? From childhood prayers answered in seconds to life-changing encounters that redirected their futures, Don Keele, Jr. and Richard Aguilera share how they discovered that God still speaks—just not always in the ways we expect.

What if longevity is more accessible than we think? Author-physician Dr. Neal Barnard explains how nutrition can prevent and reverse chronic disease, and ER doctor Tim and dietician Ashley Riesenberger share research on extending length and quality of life.

This week on Hope Sabbath School, we explore the lesson *Practical Lessons About Prayer*. We’ve discovered that prayer is essential for growing in our relationship with God, but what does that look like in everyday life? As we look at the example of Elijah, we’ll learn how to pray in times of crisis and even in moments of failure. And from Jesus, we’ll discover the importance of praying with the right motive—not to draw attention to ourselves, but to keep our focus on God. Join us this week on Hope Sabbath School as we learn practical, life-changing lessons about prayer.
