Hope in the Lord - Session 8: Eternal Hope (The Fellowship of Encouragement)

During the Summer, the SPC Adult Sunday School Class will look at expressions of Christian hope both in this present age and in the glorious future God is preparing for us. We’ll follow the schedule below:

“Experiencing Hope,” considers Christian hope through the lens of those whose faith in Christ gave shape to the early church. Lessons draw from Colossians, 2 Corinthians, Romans, Hebrews, and Acts.

• June 2 - Glorious Riches
• June 9 - Bold Ministers
• June 23 - Empowered Servants

“Expressing Hope,” turns attention to the prayers of ancient Israel as a model for offering to God our praise and petitions. These Hebrew prayers are also expressions of Christian hope. The first lesson of the unit is from a song of lament in Lamentations 3, while the remaining lessons of the unit are drawn from the Psalms.

• July 7 - Ceaseless Love
• July 14 - Continual Proclamation
• July 21 - Delightful Precepts
• July 28 - Expectant Watchfulness

“Eternal Hope” (1 Thessalonians, 1 John, and Titus) considers facets of the promised future God is preparing for those who call on the name of Jesus.

• Aug. 4 - The Fellowship of Encouragement
• Aug. 11 - Christ’s Love as the Rule
• Aug. 18 - Upright and Godly
• Aug. 25 - Devoted to Good Works

Below is a recording of our eighth discussion.
