(Derek) Welcome to Hope Sabbath School,

3
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
an in-depth, interactive study

4
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
of the Word of God.

5
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
I'm glad you joined us
we're in the middle

6
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
of a series on "The gospel in Galatians."

7
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
Actually, we just started,

8
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
but we're already learning amazing lessons

9
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
for our lives today,

10
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
The precious Good News,

11
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
and how when we try to share it,

12
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
sometimes people resist the truth

13
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
as it is in Jesus.

14
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
Our topic today: Paul's Authority
and Gospel,

15
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
and there are amazing lessons for us.

16
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
So we're glad you joined us
for Hope Sabbath School.

17
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
And hello to the team;
we're back again.

18
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
The Gospel in Galatians,

19
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
what did we learn

20
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
from the first part of our series

21
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
about Paul being transformed?

22
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
What was the most important
takeaway lesson for you?

23
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
Well, we'll share that as we study today.

24
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
I hope you were with us.

43
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
Got an email just a few weeks ago

44
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
from someone who in China watched
one program,

45
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
went back and watched 100 hours

46
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
of interactive Bible studies
in our archives.

47
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
So it's there for you.

48
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
Here are a few notes.

49
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
One from Albert in Namibia,

50
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
that's former German West Africa,

51
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
you know, just north of South Africa,

52
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
and Albert writes, "It's so edifying

53
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
to watch and listen

54
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
to you explain the Bible so clearly.

55
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
My wife and I enjoy

56
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
your Bible study every Friday evening

57
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
in preparation for the Sabbath.

58
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
I am a teacher, and I gain

59
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
a lot of knowledge from your classes,

60
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
which I apply during my class," good?

61
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
That's what we want, download the outline.

62
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
"What I want to know is

63
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
whether your class is consisting

64
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
of all student pastors

65
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
because you all seem to know the Bible."

66
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
I guess you could tell, Albert, by the way

67
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
that everybody laughed

68
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
that they're not all student pastors.

69
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
"May the Good Lord continue blessing

70
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
and giving you spiritual wisdom

71
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
as you share the Good News

72
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
with the whole world," amen?

73
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
(Team) Amen.

74
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
(Derek) So what's the takeaway there?

75
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
And the answer is,

76
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
we can all do something for Jesus, right?

77
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
Whether we're teachers or counselors

78
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
or physicians or homemakers

79
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
or construction workers or pastors, right?
Bible teachers.

80
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
We can all do something for Jesus.

81
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
Thanks for writing to us, Albert.

82
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
Here's a note from Kwasi in Ghana.

83
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
Anyone with Ghanaian roots?

84
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
Oh, Joshua! Ghanaian roots, all right.

85
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
Have a little wave here for Kwasi. Okay.

86
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
"I live in a ?Craw," he writes
