Sabbath School Study Hour

Living With Each Other Lesson 12

In our lesson for this week, Paul provides some vital principles for how a Christian family functions best. Paul also gives other valuable principles that are helpful for a variety of social relations, both inside and outside the home.

Living With Christ Lesson 11

In this week’s lesson Paul teaches that if we’re too focused on earthly things, we can’t be useful to God. Setting our minds on things above (Col. 3:1) gives us the strength to live out Christlike, practical love—like blessing those who mistreat us (Matt. 5:44–45). We can’t do this by human effort; we must die to self so Christ can live through us, transforming our lives now and for eternity.

Complete in Christ Lesson 10

In this week’s lessons we’ll see Paul warn the Colossians about false teachers promoting human traditions, rituals, and ascetic practices. He shows that Colossians 2 isn’t dismissing God’s Sabbath but addressing man‑made regulations that distracted from Christ.

Reconciliation and Hope Lesson 9

In this week's lesson, Paul shows that reconciliation through Christ’s death extends from the entire universe to each individual. Once separated from God by sin, people are personally restored through faith as the cross actively transforms lives and reveals God’s hidden plan in the gospel.

The Preeminence of Christ Lesson 8

This week we will look at one of the most comprehensive and sublime statements about Jesus in the New Testament. What does it mean that Jesus is “the image of the invisible God,” yet also “the firstborn over all creation” (Col. 1:15, NIV)?
