1: Reality Check-Sabbath School Lesson Teaching Plan

Prepared by William Earnhardt, for Sabbath School class on April 4, 2026.

Central Theme: This week, let’s consider the current state of our relationship with God and what the Bible’s advice is for us. Indeed, we can’t move from where we are to someplace better until we take an honest reality check of ourselves and listen to the solution that Jesus describes.

Read in Class: Revelation 3:14-19. Ask the class to identify the main idea of this passage.

Study: where Jesus describes the spiritual condition of His people today. How well do these texts describe you personally? What solution does Jesus have for us?

Apply: If you find it painful to look at yourself and your own spiritual condition, what hope is offered you in these verses for today?

Share: Your friend says that we are children of the King and should always feel good about ourselves. We should never feel bad about ourselves, because we are God’s special people. What do you tell your friend? For a hint, see: Negative Feelings Play a Positive Role in Our Salvation.

Read in Class: Revelation 3:20-22. Ask the class to identify the main idea of this passage.

Study: What are we promised here? But what must we do to receive that promise?

Apply: Right now, Jesus is knocking. He is calling. You, though, have to make the conscious choice to open your heart to Him. How can viewing the Cross and thinking about what it means inspire you to make that choice?

Share: Your friend suggests that the cares of this life and our accomplishments in life may keep us from “hearing” Jesus knocking at our heart’s door. How can we make sure we hear, actually open the door, and let Him in? What do you tell your friend?

Read in Class: John 15:1-11. Ask the class to identify the main idea of this passage.

Study: What did Jesus say here and what does it mean?

Apply: Jesus is the vine, we are the branches. Branches don’t feed off one another. They feed off the vine. How do you know that you are being fed from the Vine (Jesus), and not just feeding off the other branches?

Share: Your friend asks, “What does it mean for God to prune us?” How does he do that? What do you tell your friend?

Read in Class: John 14:16-18, John 15:26, John 16:7-8, and John 16:13.

Study: What are various ways in which the Holy Spirit impacts our relationship with God?

Apply: In specific ways or areas of your life, have you seen the Holy Spirit leading you into a closer relationship with God lately?

Share: Your friend asks, if it is the Holy Spirit that leads people into all truth, what role do we play? What do you tell your friend?

Mission: Can you find a nice, quiet place to be alone with God this week and journal about your relationship with Him?

Prepared by William Earnhardt, for Sabbath School Class, March 28, 2026.

Central Theme: This week, we will look at Paul’s mission strategy, which involved the very efficient use of time and resources in reaching the major centers of the Roman Empire, as well as training promising lay workers in order to reach the cities and towns that Paul would not visit, such as Colossae, Laodicea, and Hierapolis.

Read in Class: Colossians 4:7-9 and Ephesians 6:21. Ask the class to identify the common thread in these passages.

Study: How is Tychicus described, and what reasons does Paul give for sending him and Onesimus to Colossae?

Apply: How do these personal things in Paul’s letters not only show his humanity but, in a small way, affirm the validity of his ministry?

Share: Your friend says that he has heard that pastors cannot really be friends with their congregations, and yet it seemed like Paul was friends with everyone. Your friend asks why many pastors feel they cannot be personal friends with their church members. What do you tell your friend?

Read in Class: Colossians 4:10-13. Ask the class to identify the main idea of this passage.

Study: Besides sending news back and forth through emissaries (Col. 4:7-9), what other ways did Paul encourage connectivity? In view of some of the problems Paul has addressed in this epistle, what message might be conveyed through these greetings?

Apply: How can you, at your local church, work to lessen the things that threaten our unity? What are these tensions at the local level, and what can be done about them?

Share: Your friend asks whether we should all be praying for our church families as Epaphras prayed for his. What do you tell your friend? Can you share how Ephaphras prayed, and how we pray today?

Read in Class: Colossians 4:14-15 and 2 Timothy 4:10-11. Ask the class to identify the common thread in these passages.

Study: How is Luke distinguished from Demas and why?

Apply: Read Titus 2:11-14, and 1 John 2:15-17. How do we make sure we do not get carried away with the ways of the world, so that we are ready when Jesus comes?

Share: Your friend tells you that her nephew has been offered a college football scholarship from a prestigious university. Sure, he will have to give up the Sabbath, but this is an incredible opportunity for his life. It could even get him into the pros, which can make millions. Some of that he will even be giving to the church. What an opportunity, right? What do you tell your friend?

Read in Class: Colossians 4:16-18 and Colossians 2:1-3. Compare with Revelation 3:14-22.

Study: Thinking about Jesus’ message to Laodicea, what correlations do you find with that of Colossians, which was to be read also in the Laodicean church of Paul’s day?

Apply: What can you yourself (not looking at anyone else) do in order to remain faithful to God and to the truth He has given us? That is, what choices are you making that reveal who truly has your heart?

Share: Your friend asks if it is possible that our church could be like Laodicea? If so, how, and what is the remedy? What do you tell your friend?

Mission: Do you know of a friend who was in the church and has fallen back into the world? Can you intentionally pray for that friend every day this week? And keep him or her on your prayer list?

12: Living With Each Other-Sabbath School Lesson Teaching Plan

Photo by Kindel Media on Pexels.com

Prepared by William Earnhardt, for Sabbath School Class, March 21, 2026.

Central Theme: Just like the Heavenly Trio is a family community, we reflect the character of God by living in harmony as a family and community.

Read in Class: Colossians 3:18-19, Ephesians 5:22-25, 33, and Ephesians 6:1-4.

Study: What balance does Paul give us regarding authority in the family?

Apply: How can we avoid doing what has, unfortunately, been done all through history: taking the beautiful principles expressed in these texts and turning them into something evil?

Share: Your friend has been mistreated by her church, workplace, and even family. She tells you she is through with people and wants to live alone on an uninhabited island. What do you tell your friend? See, I used to be a People Person, but People Ruined it for me.

Read in Class: Colossians 3:22-25 and Colossians 4:1. Ask the class to identify the main idea of these passages.

Study: What instructions are given to slaves? What principles are here for work relations generally?

Apply: Consider how this passage could apply to your relationships at work. How might its principles be helpful to you as a boss or an employee?

Share: Your friend says he is tired of working with people, getting gossiped about, being stabbed in the back, and bosses who are jerks, and he is looking for a job where he can just be alone all the time. Besides, if he is alone, there will be no one to irritate him and make him act unChristlike. By being alone, he can be a better Christian. What do you tell your friend?

Read in Class: Colossians 4:2-4. Ask the class to identify the main idea of this passage.

Study: What principles for prayer do you find in these verses? What prayer requests does Paul make?

Apply: Reread Colossians 4:3. What “door for the word” (NKJV) might God open for you to share your faith?

Share: Your friend notes that in 2 Chronicles 1:11-12, Solomon asked for wisdom rather than for his enemies to be destroyed. Your friend asks how this fact should influence the way we pray. What do you tell your friend?

Red in Class: Colossians 4:5-6. Ask the class what the main idea of this passage is.

Study: In what situations does Paul indicate we especially need to “walk in wisdom”? Why might that be?

Apply: Think about your words, your actions, and how you walk before others. What message are you sending about your faith and what it means to be a Christian?

Share: Your friend mentions that if someone “rubs” you the wrong way, God may be using them to “polish” your character. Even Jesus had to get along with people who constantly questioned him and tried to annoy him. Your friend asks you how Jesus taught us to be the salt of the earth and answer difficult people. What do you tell your friend?

Mission: Can you think of someone who has been a little difficult to deal with or be around? Can you spend some extra time praying for them this week?

11-Living With Christ-Sabbath School lesson Teaching Plan

Prepared by William Earnhardt for Sabbath School class, March 14, 2026.

Central Theme: This week we’ll see ways in which living with Christ can make a difference, now and eternally.

Read in Class: Colossians 3:1-6. Ask the class to identify the main idea of this passage.

Study: What condition does Paul indicate is necessary for us to be heavenly-minded? What do you think that means?

Apply: How do we experience what it means to be dead to self and to earthliness and alive to “those things which are above” (Col. 3:1)? See also Romans 6:1-7.

Share: Your friend asks, “How do we follow the words “mortify therefore your members which are upon the earth” (Col. 3:5)?” What do you tell your friend?

Read in Class: Colossians 3:6-11. Ask the class to identify the main idea of this passage.

Study: How does Paul continue with this train of thought?

Apply: What does putting off the old man look like for you in everyday life? See also,  Romans 6:6 and Ephesians 4:22-24.

Share: Your friend complains that a kid from the church neighborhood, who is trying t find Jesus has joined her son’s youth Sabbath School class. Last week during prayer request time, he was talking about how frustrating his life is and accidently let a very bad word slip out. He apologized, and the teacher forgave him. Your friend thinks he should have been asked to leave the class. This is church after all! What do you tell your friend?

Read in Class: Colossians 3:12-14. Ask the class to identify the main idea of this passage.

Study:  How are believers described, and how do you think it relates to the qualities they are to “put on”?

Apply: How well are you representing Jesus in the way you treat others, especially those who may be unkind to you?

Share: Your friend says we hear too many sermons about forgiveness and need to hear more sermons about perfecting our character. What do you tell your friend?

Read in Class: Colossians 3:16-17. Ask the class to identify the main idea of this passage.

Study: What specifically enables Christ to be in control, and what role does music play in all this?

Apply:We are told that whatever we do, “do all in the name of the Lord Jesus” (Col. 3:17). Can you truly say that you do that? If not, how can you change; that is, what must you stop doing if you cannot do it in the name of the Lord?

Share: Your friend asks how the Word of God “dwells” in us. What do you tell your friend?

Mission: Think about the kind of influence your life has on others. And though we tend to think of this in the context of our individual influence, what about our influence as a Sabbath School Class? How does your local Sabbath School class impact your local community?

10: Complete in Christ-Sabbath School Lesson Teaching Plan

Prepared by William Earnhardt for Sabbath School Class, March 7, 2026.

Central Theme: This week, we will see that while we are complete in Christ, the weekly 7th-day Sabbath remains a weekly reminder that our perfection is found in our faith in Christ, not in our works.

Read in Class: Colossians 2:1-7. Ask the class to identify the main idea of this passage.

Study: What is Paul’s purpose in writing this epistle?

Apply: What has been your experience with the need for “order” in your own spiritual life?

Share: Your friend says that Paul says in 2 Corinthians 13:5 to examine ourselves to see if we are in the faith. How can we tell if we are continuing in the faith? What do you tell your friend? Hint: See James 2:14-26 and Revelation 14:12.

Read in Class: Colossians 2:11-15. Ask the class to identify the main idea of this passage.

Study: What issues does Paul seem to be combating here?

Share: Your friend asks what the handwriting or ordinances were that were against us? What do you tell your friend? Hint: See Deuteronomy 31:24-26.

Read in Class: Colossians 2:16-19. Ask the class to identify the main idea of this topic.

Study: What Jewish-Christian practices are highlighted here by Paul? Is Paul speaking about the ceremonial Sabbaths or the weekly 7th-day Sabbath? How do we know?

Share: Your friend asks you why we don’t keep the feast days anymore. What do you tell your friend?

Read in Class: Colossians 2:20-23. Ask the class to identify the main idea of this passage.

Study: How do you understand Paul’s admonitions in light of the other elements discussed in this chapter? How does verse 22 help us understand that the Sabbath and Ten Commandments were not done away with? See also Matthew 15:3,9.

Apply: How can we make sure we understand that our only foundation for salvation is from what Jesus has done for us, outside of us, in place of us–regardless of whatever He does in us?

Share: Your friend asks you to summarize Colossians 2:1-23. What do you tell your friend?

Mission: Can you think of someone who says they think Sabbath keepers are trying to be saved by their works instead of their faith in Jesus? How can you share with them this week that your faith is in Christ alone?

9: Reconciliation and Hope-Sabbath School Lesson Teaching Plan

Photo by Vlada Fadeeva on Pexels.com

Prepared by William Earnhardt, For Sabbath School Class on February 28, 2026.

Central Theme: The process of individual reconciliation is unpacked in this week’s passage. As with the cosmic sphere, it happens through the death of Christ. On the individual level, the cross, far from being a passive symbol, becomes an active reality, with God’s love transforming people as they hear the gospel and receive Christ Himself, the hope of glory.

Read in Class: Colossians 1:21-23. Ask the class to briefly summarize this passage.

Study: What is Paul alluding to with his reference to alienation and being enemies? And what is the expected end result of Christ’s death (see also Eph. 5:27)? What do you think Paul means by remaining “grounded and steadfast” in the faith? (See also Col. 2:5 and Eph. 3:17.)

Apply: What has been your experience regarding the importance of continuing to exercise faith? That is, why must you always make a conscious choice to do that? What will happen if you don’t?

Share: Your friend tells you that we need the cross for reconciliation here on earth, but the angels did not need it because they are perfect and unfallen. Therefore, once we are in heaven, we won’t need the cross either. What do you tell your friend? See Why Heaven Needed Reconciliation.

Read in Class: Colossians 1:24-25. Ask the class to identify the main idea of this passage.

Study: What does Paul say about his suffering for Christ’s sake?

Apply: Think about your own life. How might the decisions you make (big and small) fit within God’s larger plan? Can we really know whether a decision is actually “small”? How might it have larger ramifications that will become apparent only later?

Share: Your friend says that when we suffer for Christ, we are also suffering for His body, which is the church. If so, how are we suffering for each other when we are suffering for Christ? How have you suffered for the church?

Read in Class: Colossians 1:26-27, Ephesians 1:7-10, and Ephesians 3:3-6. Ask the class to identify the common thread in these passages.

Study: What is the mystery Paul is talking about in these passages, and what does this mystery have to do with the plan of salvation?

Apply: How has this mystery of the gospel already reunited you with heaven while still being right here on earth?

Share: Your friend asks you what the mystery of God is in Revelation 10, and how and when it is finished in verse 7. What do you tell your friend?

Read in Class: Colossians 1:28-29. Ask the class to identify the main idea of this passage.

Study: What is Paul’s focus? Why do you think “everyone” (NKJV and ESV) is repeated three times?

Apply: How do you understand what it means to be “perfect in Christ Jesus” (Col. 1:28)? How does an understanding of what Jesus accomplished for us at the cross help in knowing what it means to be “perfect in Christ Jesus”?

Share: Your friend asks, since Paul wants to present every man (and woman) perfect in Christ, does that mean that none of us are beyond hope of reconciliation and redemption? What do you tell your friend?

Mission: Can you think of someone who has been abused and mistreated and never really seen the love of God? How can you show them the love of goodness and God this week so they can be reconciled to Christ? See Romans 2:4.

7: A Heavenly Citizenship-Sabbath School Lesson Teaching Plan

Prepared by William Earnhardt for Sabbath School class, February 14, 2026.

Central Theme:  We need not place our hopes in earthly systems of government, which regularly disappoint us. As Christians, we are citizens of God’s heavenly kingdom. And with that, citizenship comes privileges, wonderful privileges. And responsibilities, too.

Read in Class: Philippians 3:17-19. Ask the class to identify the main idea of this passage.

Study:  How are good and bad role models described in this passage? What keys are given to distinguish between them?

Apply: Though, of course, Jesus is the only perfect pattern, there are others who, at least in certain areas, could be good role models. At the same time, what kind of role model do you present to others?

Share: Your friend asks, “How are we supposed to work, pay the bills, and take care of our home without thinking about earthly things?” What do you tell your friend?

Read in Class: Philippians 3:20-21. Ask the class to identify the main idea of this passage.

Study: How does Paul vividly describe what Christian “citizenship” looks like?

Apply: How does our everyday lifestyle, how we dress, what we eat, and what we do for entertainment reflect where our citizenship is? How do you spot a tourist in your community? How do people in your community know your citizenship is in heaven?

Share: Your friend asks why it is so important to know we have the promise of eternal life in order to live like citizens of heaven. What do you tell your friend? See 1 John 5:13.

Read in Class: Philippians 4:4-9. Ask the class to identify the main idea of this passage.

Study: How are we to experience “the peace of God”? What specific actions are urged?

Apply: What practical steps do you use to keep your mind contemplating pure, noble, and redeeming themes? Especially in a world with so much evil and impurity?

Share: Your friend asks you what it means to experience the peace of God. What do you tell your friend?

Read in Class: Philippains 4:10-13, 19. Ask the class to identify the main idea of this passage.

Study: What keys does Paul reveal for a contented, happy life?

Apply: How do you deal with the things that you have prayed for that have not yet come, or perhaps might never come?

Share: Your friend asks whether you have ever had an answer to prayer that you knew was a genuine miracle, not just a stroke of luck. What do you tell your friend?

Mission: Do you know someone who needs to accept the plan of salvation, so they can have peace of mind and a hope beyond this earth? Can you share it with them this week?

6: Confidence Only in Christ-Sabbath School Lesson Teaching Plan

Provided by William Earnhardt, for Sabbath School Class, February 7, 2026.

Central Theme: Christ is everything to us, “the author and finisher of our faith” (Heb. 12:2). If our priorities are in the right place, we will live with the assurance of God’s love and enjoy the promise, even now, of salvation, all while placing “no confidence in the flesh” (Phil. 3:3).

Read in Class: Philippians 3:1-6. Ask the class to identify the main idea of this passage.

Study: What positive and negative notes does Paul sound here, and how are they related? How does he describe believers? How would you describe the “good” in your own life (past and present)?

Apply: Life can be very difficult for us all, no matter how well things might be going at the moment. But even if they are not going well now, what things can you and should you rejoice about? What is stopping you from doing it?

Share: Your friend tells you that Galatians 2:16 says, “knowing that a man is not ustified by the works of the law but by faith in Jesus Christ, even we have believed in Christ Jesus, that we might be justified by faith in Christ and not by the works of the law; for by the works of the law no flesh shall be justified.” Your friend asks whether this was true before the cross as well as after the cross. Your friend asks why we can’t be justified by the works of the law? Why is our faith in Jesus the only way to be justified? What do you tell your friend?

Read in Class: Philippians 3:8-9. Ask the class to summarize this passage.

Study: What two things does Paul contrast, and why is this contrast important to always remember?

Apply: How can we make sure we are trusting in Christ’s righteousness and not our own? Are there any warning signs or red flags that alert us when we trust in our own righteousness?

Share: Your friend reminds you of the words in the beloved hymn, “The Old Rugged Cross,” where it says, “till my trophies at last I lay down. I will cling to the old rugged cross.” Your friend asks you what trophies we need to lay down, so we can cling to the old rugged cross? What do you tell your friend?

Read in Class: Philippians 3:10-16. Ask the class to identify the main idea of this passage.

Study: What are some of the main points Paul makes in this passage?

Apply: Why, in your walk with the Lord, is it so important to not keep looking back, at least back at your sins and failures, but instead to look ahead to what you have been promised right now in Christ?

Share: Your friend asks, “Is it only the bad things we are not supposed to look back on or the good, too?” What do you tell your friend?

Read in Class: Revelation 3:14-21. Ask the class to share the main idea of this passage.

Study: The things that made Paul proud of himself blinded him to his need for Christ. What is it that blinds Laodicea? What is Jesus’ solution for Laodicea’s pride and blindness?

Apply: What are some things (even good things) that could be blinding us from our need for Jesus today? How do we keep from being blind?

Share: Your friend asks whether our church might be relying on its own wealth and resources instead of on Christ. If so, where could the church be doing that? What do you tell your friend?

Mission: Can you think of someone who been struggling with an addiction? Can you show them how to put their confidence in Jesus so they can overcome this addiction?

5: Shining as Lights in the Night-Sabbath School Lesson Teaching Plan

Provided by William Earnhardt, for Sabbath School Class on January 31 2026.

Central Theme: The light and power of heaven is available to all of us who have surrendered our lives to Jesus. But too often either we expect God to do it all or our own ideas and plans get in the way. That’s why Paul’s words to the Philippians are so relevant today.

Read in Class: Philippians 2:12-16. Ask the class to identify the main idea of this passage.

Study: What does Paul mean by saying, “Work out your own salvation”? How would you describe the relation between faith and works? How does Paul describe what we, as children of God, are to be and to do?

Apply: While we are not saved by works, how does grace apply to our works in our practical everyday living? See Ephesians 2:8-10. Romans 1:5 and Titus 2:11-12.

Share: Your friend says that we work out our own salvation by deciding for ourselves what is right and wrong, rather than listening to the church. What do you tell your friend?

Read in Class: Philippians 2:17, 2 Timothy 4:6, and Romans 12:1-2,

Study: What is Paul saying in these passages?

Apply: Reflect on what it would mean for your life to be a “living sacrifice.” How much do you sacrifice for the kingdom of God, and what does your answer tell you about yourself?

Share: Your friend says that some people are way too fanatical and give up way too much to become Christians. They think they are holier than thou just because of their fanatical sacrifices and lifestyle. What do you tell your friend? Hint: See Matthew 26:6-13.

Read in Class: Philippians 2:19-23, 1 Corinthians 4:17, and 2 Timothy 1:5.

Study: Why do you think Paul speaks so positively and at such length about Timothy? What are some of the things Paul says about Timothy?

Apply: Think about the provocations, hardships, and annoyances you have faced recently. Have these been “meekly borne” and “well endured”? What can you do to enable these experiences to help make you more disciplined?

Share: Your friend says he thought we were not supposed to be praising other people, so why is Paul going on about how good Timothy is? What do you tell your friend? Is there a difference between praising someone and affirming them? If so, what is the difference?

Read in Class: Philippians 2:25-30. Ask the class to identify the main idea of this passage.

Study: How does Paul describe Epaphroditus? What specific attitudes and actions of this Christian worker reveal his character?

Apply: How do we make sure that we shine as lights in the world without our good deeds and accomplishments giving us pride? See Matthew 5:16.

Share: Your friend says that while Epaphroditus almost worked himself to death, Ellen White says her husband James did work himself to death. Are we supposed to work ourselves to death for the sake of the Gospel? What do you tell your friend?

Mission: Can you think of someone who works hard for the church out of love and is a bright light for Jesus in a world of darkness? Can you commend them this week?

4: Unity Through Humility-Sabbath School Lesson Teaching Plan

Photo by Magda Ehlers on Pexels.com

Prepared by William Earnhardt for Sabbath School Class, January 24, 2026.

Central Theme: This week, we’ll look at the biblical basis for unity in the church, focusing especially on the amazing condescension of Jesus, the lessons we can gain from beholding Him, and how we can grow to be more like Him.

Read in Class: Philippians 2:1-4. Ask the class to summarize this passage.

Study: What factors seem to have led to disunity within the church? What practical steps does Paul urge to have unity in the church?

Apply: What kind of death to self would lead us to where we, indeed, esteem others better than ourselves? How can we learn to do that? How different would our relationships be if we all lived like that?

Share: Your friend asks you if you have ever known anyone who was so humble that it reminded you of Jesus? What do you tell your friend?

Read in Class: Philippians 2:5.

Study: What do you think it means to have the “mind” of Christ?

Apply: Why is it so important that we follow what Paul tells us here: “Finally, brethren, whatever things are true, whatever things are noble, whatever things are just, whatever things are pure, whatever things are lovely, whatever things are of good report, if there is any virtue and if there is anything praiseworthy–meditate on these things” (Phil. 4:8, NKJV)?

Share: Your friend says that we are all human, so there is no way we can really have the mind of Christ. What do you tell your friend? Hint: See Romans 12:1-21.

Read in Class: Philippians 2:5-8. Ask the class to identify the main idea of this passage.

Study: What is Paul saying to us here? What are the implications of these words? Most importantly, how do we apply the principle expressed here to our own lives?

Apply: How should we respond to what Christ has done for us, as depicted in Philippians 2:5-8? What response could possibly be “adequate” or worthy of what Christ has done for us, perhaps other than to fall on our knees and worship? Why is it so wrong to think that our works can add to what Christ has already done for us?

Share: Your friend says he thinks the reason so many people have trouble being humble is that they think it is humiliating to be humble. Is there a difference between being humble and being humiliated? What do you tell your friend?

Read in Class: Romans 8:3, Hebrews 2:14-18, and Hebrews 4:15.

Study: What characterized Jesus’ condescension and His taking of human nature?

Apply: How can, and should, focusing on what Jesus did for us at the cross–seeing the cross as our example of surrender and humility–make us more humble, as well as more submissive to God?

Share: Your friend says, 1 Corinthians 8:2 says, “And if anyone thinks that he knows anything, he knows nothing yet as he ought to know.” Your friend asks what that is saying. Does it mean we are not supposed to act like we know anything? What do you tell your friend?

Mission: Ask yourself what specific changes you can make to show more humility at your work, school, church, and family. Share these specific changes with God and ask for His help.
