I'm now addicted to Hope Sabbath School Despite being a Pentecostal Preacher.

[@HopeSabbathSchool]

Wow! How interesting. How do our biblical lessons compare, and what are some differences from the Pentecostal teaching? We're really glad you're watching and seem to enjoy our lessons :)

[@sheilastephens5782]

Good morning 🙏 I am sick with my hands and feet please pray for me I will be able to 🚶‍♂️ walk i love to watch your program 😅😂 I am a seventh day Adventist watching from Jamaica

[@sankhar2484]

To God be the glory. Keep praying for the Holy Spirit to lead you into all truth. God is faithful to his creation. Keep watching. You will discover more of God’s goodness towards his creation and his Ten Commandments keeping people. Blessings.

Iam truely blessed every sabbath,since I started watching through the KZbin since last year 2023 and has watched every sabbath morning before going for sabbath schools. Glory, honour, and praise be unto God for such an awesome team put together. May God continue to bless and use you all as his witnesses to share his amazing truths before Christ return.

I have watched Hope Sabbath School for 13 years, since I was baptised on my 50th birthday (in Perth, Western Australia). Psalm 34:4, (part of your song this quarter), along with Jeremiah 29:11, are my favourite Bible verses because they tell me that God listens to me & is with me. I have had some trials & tribulations in my life, not the least of which is my husband passing away five years ago, very unexpectedly. He went to work one day & never came home. He loved the Lord, so I know he is asleep & waiting for Jesus’ soon return. I did become very anxious after my husband died, & prayer & the Word of God sustained me. In the last few years, I have been listening to Hope Sabbath School in instalments, on KZbin, as I’m driving to & from my work or other places. Then, I watch the whole lesson on Sabbath, usually on Friday evening. Hearing the lesson & discussion, helps to relieve my anxiety & worries, & reminds me of God’s deep love for me & for all of us. I write this not for sympathy, but to let others know that God can give us peace of mind, He does hear our prayers & He does answer them even in the midst of our most terrible days. Another of my favourite verses is Romans 8:28. “And we know that all things work together for good to them that love God, to them who are the called according to His purpose.” I know this to be true in my life. Thank you Hope Sabbath School for all you do in spreading the message of Hope & salvation through God’s love. May God continue to bless you all in this ministry, & all who listen & watch. Thank you.

O my ,when you all talked about the sower and the seed I shed tears with a prayer for the understanding, God bless this program

[@emeraldezy]

I have the same struggle as Gladys. Some days, I am fired up about God's Promises and unfailingly love. And some days I ask Him questions if He still lives me. I pray the Holy Spirit keeps teaching us.

[@blueskysailing]

Stay strong with Jesus! He loves you. Never forget that. 🙏❤🙋

[@jamesmills6249]

I have watched Hope Sabbath School for many years. Two years ago when I remarried (my previous husband passed from COVID) my new husband and I started watching Hope Sabbath School together. He really seems to enjoy the way you handle the lessons. It's been a real blessing.

[@saraphikani8218]

This has reminded me about John the babtist he came to prepare the soil so that when Jesus comes and sow the seed which is his word should land on the hearts of the people who can bear fruits.

[@nidabland6165]

Thank you for elaborating the parable of the sower... I have seen my needs to recondition my heart as the soil in the parable... God bless us all

[@Dav02Olys99Mom]

I spend time personally, going over each day during the week in the quarterly; so I am doing my own studying. Then usually on Friday evening listen to Hope Sabbath School. As a 45 year old adult, I am not embarrassed or ashamed to say: I❤Sabbath School Sabbath School is not only for children & youth, it is intended and available to/for all ages.

[@blueskysailing]

Yes, amen! ❤🙏

[@sankhar2484]

Wow. How powerful!!! I am just a few minutes in and I can’t wait to hear the rest. The story about the boat and how God allows us to experience certain things was what I could identify with and agree with instantly. Great choice for a story.

[@nicolepowell3662]

My first time to view in on Hope Sabbath School

[@edithdotson5617]

For those interested, the book Christ's Object Lessons by E.G.White offers great insights on why Jesus taught by parables and what the significance of each parable is. Not only did the story teach spiritual lessons, it also taught practical principles of farming which if implemented would be beneficial to people until the world ends. The story was able to be understood by practically all peoples in the entire world. Jesus was the master teacher and also a Master Gardener.

[@FloretteAhwan]

Blessing to all the hope Sabbath school panels

[@HopeSabbathSchool]

Blessings to you too :)

[@isaacondieki3210]

Thanks so much for clarifying why Jesus taught in parables. Was to put off those who had planned to end His ministry before the prophetic time

[@MsGratefulgal]

He taught in parables to help us think microscopically. The brain 🧠 needs to exercised to think, relate, process, ... make informed decisions

Hello Hope Sabbath school, I'm Both Mok Kueth from eastern Ethiopia in Somali region. Dear Hope Sabbath school members, I am deeply grateful for the privilege of joining your discussion group over the past 3 years during my time studying at the university up to now. Your love for God's word and dedication to studying the Scriptures together has been a tremendous blessing in my life. I thank God for using your group to draw me closer to Him and His people. As I am from the Somali region of eastern Ethiopia for sturdy in university, where there is only a small church of SDA, where majority are Muslim, I humbly ask for your prayers about this area. May God continue to work mightily through your fellowship and may your discussions bear much fruit for His kingdom. I am forever thankful for the powerful way God is using your ministry.

[@flexcapafrica1636]

@Bothmokkueth3025 Our prayers to that region.I am encouraged by the Lord's promise: ✳️God has good plans for us Jeremiah 29.11 ✳️God will never forsake us Hebrews 13.5-8 Let us be encouraged.Amen

[@MsGratefulgal]

The majority in your country are also mankind. Jesus will teach us to learn to live with one another and see each other and God's Image as in mankind. The Farmer allowed us to grow together (wheat & weeds) and bear each other in love for Christ's sake. Blessings to you brother💐

I'm so thankful that we can watch Hope Sabbath School on KZbin. A couple of years ago the app stopped working both on my phone and tablet. I'm on the Android platform. I miss the app because I watched more than just HSS. Is there someone there that could troubleshoot this issue with me? May God continue to bless this ministry.

[@genevieveb729]

Moving rocks and weeds and tilling the soil is difficult work, but it makes good ground that can nurture the seed and bring forth and support a crop. So in spiritual growth, we have to make changes to cultivate a healthy relationship with Jesus.

Shabbat Shalom. Jesus was preparing His disciples for mission. In this parable, He wanted them to know , there would be different responses to the message. According to the human heart condition. Just present the word . Leave the conversation to Me 🙏🕊🇨🇦

He had a diverse audience. So he wanted everyone from children, uneducated up to the wise and powerful to upstanding the simplicity.

'Hear' also means obey or apply the truths you receive or apprehend. This includes fulfilling the gospel commission or sharing with others what we understand.

[@dorothymcleggan5824]

Jesus is the sower the seed is the word we are the soil

[@MsGratefulgal]

The Heavenly Father is the Generous Sower/ the Farmer. Jesus is the Seed/the Word, sowed generously in all soils/souls. The Heavenly Father allowed the Crop to grow with the weeds/thorns😊. The Crop is to preserve the Truth. Truth is marching on from generation to generation until the Chief Harvester comes again

[@redmackman2]

Happy Sabbath 😊 I need prayers for my family, I have prayed for peace for a many months but God has not answered my prayers. So there is no peace. 😢
