What More Could I Have Done?

Sabbath School Study Hour ·

2025/03/08

Many struggle with the question: If God is good, why is there so much suffering? Where is He in the midst of pain? The cosmic conflict helps shed light on this crucial issue, yet many questions remain. But when our search for answers falls short, we can look to Jesus on the cross and see that God is trustworthy, even when some questions remain unanswered—for now.

Rules of Engagement

Sabbath School Study Hour ·

2025/03/01

For the cosmic conflict to occur, God must allow the enemy some freedom and power within certain parameters, though the details are unknown to us. Even God's angels operate within these "rules of engagement." Understanding that God governs by love, not coercion, helps us grasp this concept and better understand the great controversy.

Free Will, Love, and Divine Providence

Sabbath School Study Hour ·

2025/02/15

The God of the Bible could not be more different from these demonic forces. Yahweh is perfectly good and His character changeless. And it is only because of God’s constant goodness that we can have any hope, now and for eternity.

The Problem of Evil

Sabbath School Study Hour ·

2025/02/07

Perhaps the greatest problem facing Christianity is the problem of evil—how to reconcile the fact that God is perfectly good and loving, with the fact of evil in this world. In briefest terms, if God is all-good and all-powerful, why is there evil, and so much of it, too?

God’s Love of Justice

Sabbath School Study Hour ·

2025/01/31

Throughout Scripture, love and justice go together. True love requires justice, and true justice can be governed by and meted only out in love.

The Wrath of Divine Love

Sabbath School Study Hour ·

2025/01/24

Though God’s compassion is often celebrated, many find the idea of His wrath disturbing. If God is love, they think He should never express wrath. That notion, however, is false. His wrath arises directly from His love.

God Is Passionate and Compassionate

Sabbath School Study Hour ·

2025/01/17

How can we model our lives after the life of Christ, focusing on the felt needs of others, and, thus, not merely preaching God’s love but showing it in tangible ways?

Epilogue: Knowing Jesus and His Word

Sabbath School Study Hour ·

2024/12/21

In this, our last week in John, we will look at some of this Gospel’s key points, which can help us move beyond the mere head knowledge of Jesus to, instead, knowing Him better and more closely abiding in Him and in His Word.

The Hour of Glory: The Cross and Resurrection

Sabbath School Study Hour ·

2024/12/14

The four Gospels present the death of Jesus in different ways. But John presents the cross as the enthronement of Jesus, particularly tied to the idea of the hour, which is referred to numerous times throughout the book (John 7:30, John 8:20, John 12:27).

en-US

The Father, the Son, and the Spirit

Sabbath School Study Hour ·

2024/12/07

This week’s lesson looks at how the Gospel of John presents the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit, but now within the context of the farewell discourse (John 13–17).

en-US

The Way, the Truth, and the Life

Sabbath School Study Hour ·

2024/11/30

This week’s lesson will begin with the purpose of the farewell discourse and its introduction with the significant episode of Jesus’ washing His disciples’ feet. Then it will turn to the “I AM” statement in chapter 14 (“I am the way, the truth, and the life”).

The Source of Life

Sabbath School Study Hour ·

2024/11/23

This week continues with the revelation of God as given us in John. We will also more fully explore the flip side of things, in which, despite the powerful evidence for Jesus as the Messiah, some rejected Him. We will study this idea for two reasons: to avoid the same mistake, but also to consider how we might be able to reach out to those in danger of making that mistake, as well.

Fulfilling Old Testament Prophecies

Sabbath School Study Hour ·

2024/11/16

This week we will look at more ways John revealed Jesus as the Messiah, and also, we will look at why some people still continued to reject Him—despite all the powerful reasons affirming Him as the Christ. What can we learn from their mistakes?

en-US

Blessed Are Those Who Believe

Sabbath School Study Hour ·

2024/11/09

Throughout his Gospel, John has a diversity of people—people with different backgrounds, beliefs, and experiences—all testifying to who Jesus was. Who were some of these people, and why did they testify as they did to the identity of Jesus?

More Testimonies About Jesus

Sabbath School Study Hour ·

2024/11/02

This week’s lesson looks at some of those who witnessed and testified about Jesus. In each of these incidents, some aspects of who Jesus really is are revealed, and together they create a deeper vision of Jesus, the Messiah.

The Testimony of the Samaritans

Sabbath School Study Hour ·

2024/10/26

At the time of Christ, this animosity continued. The Jews avoided Samaria as much as possible. Though commerce may have gone on, other interaction was taboo. The Jews would not borrow from Samaritans or even receive a favor from them. Within this context, John recounts the encounter between Jesus, the woman by the well, and the people of the Samaritan city of Sychar.

Witnesses of Christ as the Messiah

Sabbath School Study Hour ·

2024/10/19

This week begins with the powerful witness of John the Baptist. Other witnesses come on the stage as well: Andrew and Simon Peter, Philip and Nathaniel, and a most unexpected witness, the Pharisee Nicodemus. But another witness stands back in the shadows (that other disciple with Andrew, in John 1:35, 40)—John himself.

The Backstory: The Prologue

Sabbath School Study Hour ·

2024/10/12

This week’s lesson will begin with the Prologue (John 1:1–18) and summarize its major themes. These themes will then be looked at in other places in John’s Gospel, as well.

Signs of Divinity

Sabbath School Study Hour ·

2024/10/05

This week’s lesson looks at three of Jesus’ greatest signs of His divinity. What is striking is that in every case some people did not believe the miracle or perceive its significance. For some it was a time of turning away from Jesus; for others, a time for deepening blindness; and for others, a time to plot Jesus’ death. And, for others—a time to believe that Jesus was the Messiah.

Signs That Point the Way

Sabbath School Study Hour ·

2024/09/26

Why did John write his Gospel? Did he wish to emphasize Jesus’ miracles? Or to emphasize some specific teachings of Jesus? What was the reason for writing what he did? This week we’re going to look in John at some of Jesus’ early miracles—from His turning water to wine at a wedding, to restoring to health someone’s very sick son, to the healing of the man at the pool of Bethesda.
