    • Thank you, Kesese. We try to bring people from a diversity of backgrounds. Some are pastors, some are teachers, some health professionals but all with a love for the Word of God. We are happy that you are inspired and strengthened for Sabbath School. We hope you continue watching and being blessed.

  4. Dear Hope SS team, is love a gift or a fruit! This discussion leaves confusion! My understanding has always been that love is a fruit that all Christ's followers cultivate and produce thru the indwelling of Christ/Holy Spirit! If it is a gift then the holy spirit gives it to some and not others, are not gifts diverse and given to build up the church. Love as a fruit is needed even after the church is built it never ends!?

    • Dear Sharon,

      Sorry for the confusion. Love is listed at the first in the list of the fruit of the spirit. 1 Corinthians 13 also makes clear that love is the greatest and most important. While it is true that every good thing we do comes not from us but from God, we can not truly be Christians if we do not have love. Jesus made this clear in Matthew 22 that loving God and others is the greatest commandment. The "gifts" of the spirit are a different discussion and relate more to management and skills to help further the work of Christ on earth. Love must be the center of all these efforts and each of us must abide by its principles to truly live the fruit of the spirit.
