Despite being a Pastor in one of Pentencoastal Churches I watch hope Sabbath School religiously. God richly bless you

[@pamelaanderson5054]

I want to testify of God's amazing love and care. I had a brain tumor surgery and presently I have bells palsy but God is healing me. Praise His holy name. Alleluia

[@YowSensei87]

PRAISE GOD, for a new song of hope for the physical revival and spiritual renewal. There is always something to praise our Lord Jesus and savior for ^_^. God Bless you.

[@bruneybee1315]

In the context of waiting on the Lord, I just say amen to everyone testimony. After my marriage, I have had some complications in terms of getting pregnant. Then I have taken that decision and said to the Lord that I wanted to have that conversation with Him not only one though. It took me six years before I finally got my first child. Literally, I always take God at His word but again during that time I did not sit idle and waiting but was constantly claiming His promises and He has come through for me

[@rocklandrockland2680]

Thank you for that wonderful testimony.

[@akojamofoluke1480]

[@sankhar2484]

Amen. I had a spike of Joy this morning,coming to the realization that,although we need to go through the grieving process, we should not consume our lives and or our time with death. Let’s continue to live our purpose which is the great commission as we wait on the Lord. 🙏👍🙌. Thank you Jesus. Thanks Hope Sabbath School. Blessings.

[@rocklandrockland2680]

Mali is a country in west Africa, with a very old civilization, being location of one of the oldest and largest empires in about 900BC with the ancient trading City of Timbuktu. An estimated 90% of Malians are Muslim (mostly Sunni), approximately 5% are Christian (about two-thirds Roman Catholic and one-third Protestant) and the remaining 5% adhere to traditional African religions. After the 2012 imposition of sharia rule in northern parts of the country, however, Mali came to be listed high (number 7) in the Christian persecution index published by Open Doors, which described the persecution in the north of the country as severe. So, it is great to receive a letter from Mali from a Christian, because Mali is in the 10/40 window and has been beset with severe internal conflict both religious (with the extremist jihadist groups) and political.

Wait. Watch. Work. Attitudes and activities the committed Christian demonstrates as he/she anticipates the SOON return of our dear Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ. Let each be found faithful to the end patiently, vigilantly and fervently engaged in these activities.

[@fresinesamboko5037]

Amen

[@Nollyfx]

Thank you Hope Sabbath school. I'm blessed. Lamentation says it is good that a man should both hope and quietly wait on the salvation of the Lord.

[@edithdotson7603]

Next quarter, beginning next week we move on to another theme but let us not forget the many precious lessons learned from the Psalms. We can continue to learn Scripture songs, to meditate on the written Psalms and to write our own psalms to the Lord's honor and glory by the Holy Spirit's help. Blessings to all!

Happy Sabbath saints. Fellow brother and avid watcher of your lessons. Keep up the Lord’s word. A suggestion to you from my vantage point. We may not know you in person but part of your ministry is that you build relationships even through social media. Some of you share your stories and every now and then a follow up would be nice. Example, how is Gladys doing healthwise? And where oh where is Jason? My prayers on all your behalf as workers in Gods vineyard🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻

Thanks so much for the lesson, I will use some of the ideas in my class this coming Sabbath. My question though is about a money holder handouts that have Adventist messages in it. I want to distribute those but I can't remember the name for them. Does anyone know what the technical term for those handouts are? Thank you in advance

[@HopeSabbathSchool]

Hi! thanks for you comment. I'm not exactly sure what the money holder handouts are, but I did do some looking around and here is a website you might like: www.buyglow.org. See if that's kind of what you're talking about. If not, please connect with us again, we want to be sure to help you spread the word of God.

[@rocklandrockland2680]

Another very interesting session, thank you aplenty but I notice that the panel @19:34 was somewhat quiet when Derrick asked for some life examples of waiting on God 😊 even when it is evident that the panelists are people of considerable experience in REAL life situations. Irrespective of our western inclination to be silent about sharing our deep personal challenges which required us to wait on the Lord , we ought to speak out, of course wisely, because the people we seek to reach both in the world and in church are confronted by REAL and SEVERE challenges. Only our real experiences of waiting on God and seeing him come through for us will reach them and keep them in the faith and in church. This is vital if we are to be effective in our ministration. 1 Corinthians 2 v 4 (NIV) My message and my preaching were not with wise and persuasive words, but with a demonstration of the Spirit’s power, 5 so that your faith might not rest on human wisdom, but on God’s power. Also, 1 Corinthians 4 v 20 (NIV) For the kingdom of God is not a matter of talk but of power. So, it is critical that we speak freely, and not be bashful, to be effective. We would not win with superficial words and examples. Thankfully, Puia and especially Tandi came through in the end. My testimony: In the recession of 2008 my business was adversely impacted, I was in court with the Banks suing for millions of dollars, all my assets frozen, all with a young family to look after. It was a business nightmare, but I prayed and fasted and waited on the Lord while the case went through the court system, which felt like forever. Some brethren also joined me in prayers, not many. It was not looking good at all. Even my business insurance company, one of the biggest in the US, was in financial distress too! Everything was at risk, our home and all other assets. In the end, God came through, the case was settled and I did not have to pay one cent and my assets were released. Ain't God good? He can do it for all who are going through the same challenges and more. He is a truly faithful God and a loving father forever. Amen. Blessings.
