Host Mike Browning sits down with Harold Harker and Corinne Knopper to trace how Jesus called Himself the way, the truth, and the life, and how Paul dealt with critics who tried to discredit his ministry and lead believers astray.

The conversation centers on 2 Corinthians 8:9 — how Christ, though rich, became poor so that through His poverty we might become rich — and traces that example through Paul's appeal for the Jerusalem collection.

Sabbath School Lesson Summary for this week explores agape love in 1 Corinthians 13, the "love chapter" Paul places at the very center of his teaching on spiritual gifts. Host Kaysie Vokurka is joined by Carissa van Deventer and Alfredo Campos for a concise, interactive bible study on why every gift, and even faith itself, falls short without love — and what it actually looks like to live it out.

The conversation moves through 1 Corinthians 13:1–13, unpacking the difference between agape and phileo love in the original Greek, what love is not (envious, proud, rude, easily provoked), and what love is (pati...

This week's Sabbath School Lesson Summary moves through 1 Corinthians 8 to 10 and ends on one of the New Testament's most quoted promises, 1 Corinthians 10:13 — that God won't let you be tempted beyond what you can bear, and will always provide a way of escape.

How does a modern believer stand firm when the surrounding culture tries to redefine what is right and wrong? Welcome to a powerful scripture study and interactive Bible study designed to unpack deep biblical truths for your modern walk.

In this week's Sabbath School lesson summary, host Rod Butler is joined by Rosanna Laredo and John Kosmeier to dive deep into the book of 1...

John Howard was the second-longest serving Prime Minister of Australia (in a coalition government). When referring to political parties, he famously popularised the saying "Disunity is death.” What about disunity in churches? Today’s lesson will explore how divisions arise in churches, and will investigate practical ways for our congregations to overcome cliques and be united in Christ.

The cross was an intense symbol of Roman torture and shame. Yet in a divided and sophisticated city like Corinth, the apostle Paul refused to rely on human eloquence or philosophy to reach the hearts of the people. Instead, he preached only “Jesus Christ and Him crucified.” Today’s lesson will discuss why this seemingly foolish message transforms lives and remains the central answer to division, to pride, and to sin in every generation.

It might be confounding how messages to a church in ancient Greece are relevant today. But human nature is much the same as it always has been. Today’s lesson begins a new series on the Apostle Paul’s two letters to the Corinthians, and discusses how the problems that Paul encountered in ancient Corinth are strikingly appropriate for us today.

Today’s lesson deals with setbacks to one’s faith. I once read the story of a boy who was rescued after a terrible incident at sea. His rescuers found him clinging to a rock. They asked him how scared he had been. He replied: “I shook all night, but thankfully the rock did not move.” Can we find a firm rock in our times of trouble and in the setbacks of life? The Apostle Paul wrote that troubles can lead to perseverance, character, and hope. What is the firm basis for hope? Today’s lesson will look into this.

This lesson will explore the life-changing theme of repentance and forgiveness. The same grace shown to the Israelites is today offered to us through Jesus. Join us, as we Let God Speak of how to experience the freedom of a clean heart, and how to walk with Him, and for truths that will draw you closer to the Saviour.

Some people wish there were no speed limits on our roads. They say that people should have the freedom to decide for themselves what is a safe speed to drive. Imagine how chaotic, frightening, and dangerous driving on the roads would be if every person was given that responsibility. Just like road traffic rules are needed to keep order, safety, and the joy of driving, God has laws that govern His creation. Sadly, we have all broken God’s rules and face that penalty. Today’s lesson will investigate God’s laws and the good news concerning who can restor...

When the sun sinks below the horizon in the evening, we have faith that we will see it rise again in the morning. When we turn on a light switch, we believe the light will go on, even though electricity is invisible. In cases like these, our faith is based on past experience. When it comes to our relationship with God, faith is similar. We have past experience to go by. Like electricity, God is invisible. But we see Him at work. Various Bible verses help us to know about faith. Hebrews tells us that “faith is the evidence of...

Prayer is often described as talking to God as to a friend. Prayer is therefore a unique privilege. What things are appropriate to talk to God about? How personal can we be? In an attempt to answer this, our study today will look at the spiritual significance of prayer through the lives of some of the Bible’s greatest prayer warriors.

In 2016, the Oxford Dictionary’s Word of the Year was "post-truth". The definition they gave was ”relating to or denoting circumstances in which objective facts are less influential in shaping public opinion than appeals to emotion and personal belief”. To simplify: facts are secondary, or even irrelevant, when they conflict with what people want to believe. Welcome to the “post-truth” world. Truth is no longer absolute. Everyone can have their own truth based upon their own worldview, and nobody has authority to call out as being wrong. Stay with us for this study, as we discuss why it is vitally im...

Today’s lesson will investigate two contrasting qualities: pride and humility. Charles Dickens created a character, Uriah Heep, who was extremely proud of his humility. The Bible gives a painful example of someone else who became proud while living in heaven’s sinless environment, that someone was Satan. Since the human race fell into sin, we have been infected with the problem of pride and selfishness. Thankfully there is a divine solution to this problem. Today’s lesson will unpack that divine solution.

To have a strong relationship with God, one needs to understand His character. While our finite minds cannot fully understand God, we can know enough about Him from the Bible to put our total trust in Him. Today’s study will explore how we can know God, and why knowing God is important for having a strong relationship with Him.

The phrase "The truth hurts" means you may have to accept an uncomfortable, unflattering, or harsh reality that challenges your self-image, illusions, beliefs, or ego. Being told the truth, however, is something we all need. Jesus loves His last day church and sent it a truthful message. He gave it a reality check. Join us now for the beginnings of a new series of lessons on growing our relationship with God.

The phrase "a champion team will always beat a team of champions" emphasises how teamwork can overcome a roster stacked with individual superstars who lack synergy. The apostle Paul showed that mission is teamwork. He assembled his “dream team” of fellow workers to minister to the Colossian church. Stay with us as we discuss Paul’s approach to nurturing the Colossians and how we can apply the same approach in our church mission work.

There are two forces at work in our world: Good and evil, Christ and Satan. Bad behaviours result from the influence of evil; good behaviours stem from Christ. Behind goodness lies the principle of love. That love flows out of a relationship with Jesus Christ. Today’s study will look at what Paul wrote in the 3rd chapter of his letter to the church at Colossae. While we need to attend to earthly matters, a focus on eternity is essential. Today’s study will reveal Paul encouraging a heavenly focus for all the Colossian believers. Is that good advice for...

Were the ten commandments done away with when Christ died and rose again? Are we living today only under grace with no law? If the law is still in force, what role does it play in our salvation when we are saved by faith alone? These are very important questions for Christians. Stay tuned as we see how Paul answered these questions in his letter to the Colossians.

Most people believe the most preeminent position one could hold in the world today is the office of the President of the United States. This is because that office controls the largest economy and diplomatic network, and, it has global influence over international politics, economics, security, and culture. The Bible, however, makes very clear who holds the most preeminent position in the world today. Stay with us as we discuss the preeminence of Christ.

Our present series has been looking at Paul’s letters to the churches at Philippi and Colossae. Before we move on to the letter to the Colossians, our study today will take one last look at the final chapter in the letter to the Philippians. This chapter contains many good counsels for daily living. Life is not always easy, and does not always go the way we plan or hope. Thankfully the ‘here and now’ and the future are all in God’s hands. We, as members of God’s heavenly kingdom, have privileges and responsibilities. Let’s take a look at Pa...

The most unbelievable part of the Bible is its central theme: that God saves guilty sinners without them contributing anything! Or as great scholars and theologians have described it: salvation is by grace alone. Why is this beautiful message of salvation so difficult to comprehend? Why does humanity continually fall into the trap of relying on themselves for salvation? How can we avoid this temptation and be found in Jesus? Today’s study will uncover answers to all these questions.

Much is said these days about unity. While everyone acknowledges strength in unity, they see much variety in how they define that unity. Some believe unity is inclusivity, social justice, and collaboration between diverse communities. Others believe it is a commitment to shared values, national identity, and collective strength. But what is unity in the Christian faith? Stay with us as we discuss what it means to have unity through humility.

The longer I live, the more I become aware of the brevity of life. While this could make one pessimistic, for many Christians it emphasises a message of hope for the future eternal life. Here at 3ABN we are in the business of sharing the good news of salvation through faith in Jesus Christ. With that thought in mind, I refer to something that the writer of Hebrews said. “through His death, Jesus destroyed the devil who had the power of death.” Today’s study will talk about living for Jesus Christ. It will touch on witnessing for Him, regard...
